[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 335609, member: 13134"] First post here. I have a 14' Semi v with a 1977 15hp 2 stroke Evinrude. Primarily used to kokanee troll on reservoirs in California but I want to use it to get in to some duck hunting spots on slow small rivers. Contemplating getting a small longtail for it but most of the waters I might use it in my outboard can probably get me in to 90% of the spots. It currently has a 9.5" x 10" 3 blade on it which has seen better days. I'm hoping to get a little more top end for scooting around the reservoirs between fishing spots so I will probably get another 9.5" x 10" or maybe an 11" pitch. For shallow water river stuff I was thinking maybe a 4 blade 9.25" x 8" might be good to hop up on plane quicker. Don't need the top end speed but staying up with a heavy load would be desirable. Never really played around with prop style or size always stuck with the stock recommendation. At $70 for an aluminum it won't kill me to experiment a little bit. Any advise would be appreciated.
