[QUOTE="muskiemike12, post: 288011, member: 4897"] I would not worry too much about the diameter of the prop. The smaller diameter will increase your RPM's slightly. Unless your boat is extremely heavy, diameter will not effect performance. If it is really heavy, then you want to swing the largest diameter you can get. You also have to figure blade cupping into the equation. Different props and manufactures will have different amounts of cupping on the blades. Also if you are struggling with accleration, you may want to look at getting a vented prop or drilling vent holes. I would not go with a SS prop if you are hitting hazzard frequently. You are better off with a damaged prop then a damaged prop shaft or seals. [/QUOTE]
