[QUOTE="sturdi87, post: 147397, member: 2691"] Went ahead and bought a 10 3/8" dia x 13" pitch Vortex XHS. Showed up today. Test run yielded exact same top end speed results as the old beat up prop. Boat did seem to accelerate much faster as well as plane out better. The most noticeable difference between the new vortex and the old one was that the vortex did not lose grip in turns at higher speeds like the old one did. In relatively wide sweeping turns the old prop lost grip, this was not the case even in much sharper turns at comparable speeds with the vortex. If you could copy down whatever numbers are on it, there should be some numbers/letters that is a part number stamped on it. I would really appreciate the information, or anyone else reading this with a 40hp mariner (or merc or yamaha etc for that matter), It would be a great help! [/QUOTE]
