What does the Diameter of the prop do when increased?? whats the difference between a 14.25'' and 15.3''? also do you get new hub or bolt with the purchase of a new prop?

Re: Couple Prop questions....

That much difference in diameter probably means a different class of prop that mounts on a different class of drive. I'm guessing here, but are we talking about Bravo I and Bravo II props? A II won't fit on a I. As far as what comes with it, it all depends on who made it.

I went from a 13.75" to the 15.3" on my Alpha I, huge performance increase. Much better out of the hole with much more hull lift. But had to drop down one pitch size for it to work best as I only have so much power, yet top speed is about the same.
