Re: What is best prop 03 maxum prop. 5.0l alpha one gen 2 1:62
Jay, I show that boat with a 260 HP engine at 25' long and I guessed the
WOT RPM at about 4,600 RPM. I got a total all up weight of right at 7,100 pounds, that includes a 100 gallons of gas , 2 batteries, 700 pounds for people ice and other items. With these assumptions I find that your boat ought to do about 40 MPH with a stock aluminum propeller, if you use the right stainless prop you should be able to add another 3 to 5 MPH. The prop pitch should be 17" Pitch and this assumes this boat doesn't have more than about 11 degrees of vee in the hull. Hope this helps.
