    Need better hole shot

    I did not try a 4 blade between the two. I had two 4 blade props and two 3 blade. The 3 blades were 19 and 20 the 4 blades were 16 and 21. Now that you point it out, I did leave a pretty big gap in there as far as the 4 blade line up. I didn't even really think about that. I just had a bunch of...

    Oh, yeah I tried a 16 pitch. That one had me on top of the water RIGHT now. But I was wound out WAY too early. I found I had to keep her about 3/4 throttle just to cruise comfortably. It burned fuel like crazy and I just didn't like cruising at that high of RPM. It would be great for skiing but...

    Need better hole shot

    I didn't try any props that large in diameter. 15" was the largest I went. the rest were in the low to mid 14" range. All of them were aluminum. It gets pretty pricey to start "experimenting" with stainless props! I would like to run one in the lake but I'm not sure if I would need to adjust the...

    Need better hole shot

    well after many prop changes and experimentation it turns out, I CAN get the boat to plane out quickly with the right prop. The Vortex 4 blade 15"X16 popped me right up on top the water.... and that was about it. lol It got me up and burned about a 1/4 tank per mile. lol but it DID get me planed...

    Need better hole shot

    I got a Michigan wheel Vortex 4 blade 15"X16 a Quick Silver Nemesis 4 blade 14x19 and a Quick silver Black Diamond 3 blade 15x19.... I think, so many numbers flying around. I know none of them are top of the line props. I'm just trying to get a feel for what I need, or figure out if a prop will...

    Need better hole shot

    Well I got the first of my 3 props this weekend. I won't be able to try them out until memorial day weekend when we get down to the lake but I will be sure to post the results when I get to do some testing.

    I've never even heard of "vessel View" but it looks fantastic! Added that to the cart! The delivery guys are going to love me!

    Interesting. I don't have the serial number off hand. It might be in the giant pack of papers I have at home. All I know is its the original motor from 2005 its a 5.0 and fuel injected. If it has a rev limiter I definitely never hit it because I felt nothing like you described. Maybe I do have...

    Need better hole shot

    Someone mentioned earlier that with the MPI I would have a rev limiter. Now I'm used to rev limiters on cars and its usually pretty obvious when you hit the rev limiter there. However While messing with a couple props last year, at WOT each one ended up right about the "maximum suggested RPMs"...

    yeah I have my eye on the revolution props as well. I've heard good things. Right now I'm doing, as you said, experimenting with aluminum, until I get a little closer to where I need to be then I may look into a stainless. I know there will be a bit of performance difference between the...

    Need better hole shot

    Yeah I spent most of my life skiing behind boats that were somewhat "under powered" for the task. Spent a lot of time dragging. lol I learned to slalom at a young age and skied behind any boat I would get to pull me. We had lots of friends with boats and I got to ski behind all kinds of boats...

    I don't currently have access to the boat. It is stored down at the lake and we won't be down there for another month.

    I’ll add one to the shopping cart! I’m gonna being multiple with me and see what works best. If I gotta switch props from “pulling” to “cruising” props that’s cheaper than a new engine or boat. Although a lot less fun! lol

    I called my dad to see if he could remember any more information than me. (He remembers stuff like that, I can’t even remember my PIN number) The consensus is it’s most likely 1.62 ratio the current prop I believe is 14.25 x 21.
