My boat is an Xpress 1756 with a tunnel. I am primarily a freshwater fisherman but I do enjoy fishing the shallow bays. I pulled the boys skiing years ago but likely never will again with this boat. I'll likely get the prop that I have fixed and also buy a new one to either use or as a spare.
In the most extreme conditions (which are when I will be in the most danger of getting to camp on a mud flat in the middle of duck season or searing Texas sun) I need to be able to get up and moving in 2 feet of water (and mud) or less. I usually accomplish this by cutting the motor to one side, hitting the gas and going in a tight circle until I get some water moving in the tunnel and then I can go.
What would be your suggestions be as to the pitch of the new prop and a four blade as opposed to a three blade (like I have now)?
Thanks in advance.
