I know you guys are trying to help me get out of this Ballistic rut that I'm in (or am I), but I have a problem. I have a light fast boat and it is Merc driven and only 90 hp.<br /><br />This disqualifies me from purchasing some of the more popular names you guys mention. They're made for larger engines, or bigger, heavier boats, or I/O's. You keep encouraging me to go and get a "real" prop.<br /><br />Ok, what and where?<br /><br />I just surfed the complete lineup of Merc props and nada. I even looked at the Merc Black Max aluminum...found one for $91 in 25 pitch thinking that a lighter prop would reduce my clanging with these high pitched, heavy, SS props. But that sucker doesn't appear to be cupped and I know I'll blow it before I even think twice about it.<br /><br />I bought out of MWC catalog when I bought the 21 Ballistic. Can't find anything in their catalog that fits my application that's over 23 pitch in a diffent brand. Currently running their (Ballistic's) 24XP and it's great, but you keep telling me there's more out there.<br /><br />Now don't get me wrong, I'm a Scrooge McDuck, so I'm not going to BAM or someone like that to make me a custom unit. Ha.<br /><br />But I don't need to tell YOU what's driving me in this curiousity loop...........the same thing that drives you (lots of you) to want more speed and performance and...."if I could just get one more mph...." Grin<br /><br />Later,<br /><br />Mark
