[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 21684, member: 10"] Each prop will have a "sweet zone" where it will give you the most speed. There are a number of factors involved, including the shape of your hull, the depth of the prop and trim of the motor. IMHO proper trim and getting your boat on plane will do far more then increasing your motor's RPM alone. Of course, if your motor is putting out more horses then you can start to run more radical props. You might want to try a SS prop over aluminum or composite if they make one that fits and you want to put out the money. [/QUOTE]
