For an 86" Merc 175hp....<br /><br />I need a SS 4-blade 22P.<br /><br />Anyone know of a used one that is available...?

Ebay would be the place to look. Might take a while, given the year. I've started some project work on my boat and if you look & wait, it seems almost anything is available out there.

JB, not to be rude... But the first place I looked was within the iboats site... They don't have the prop size/blades I need' either out of stock or not available. And I can't afford them if they were...<br /><br />I'm just checking with fellow boaters on a "used" prop that may be "available"...<br />Sorry if I broke any rules, but let's be reasonable...

I think it is reasonable for a business to protect their interests on their property, KClost.

And, it is no problem to respect it.<br /><br />Getting the idea about eBay doesn't take much advice, anybody can come up with that one.<br /><br />Asking here in plain clear writing is not within the rules.<br /><br />Obey, friend, and look around some more.<br /><br />To help you off these are the Merc numbers you need, although they cover 3 & 5 blade only:<br /><br />23" HighFive 5 blade SS is 48-815762A40<br />21" HighFive 5 blade SS is 48-815760A40<br />23" Laser 3 blade SS is 48-16548A41<br />21" Laser 3 blade SS is 48-16546A41<br /><br />If you want 4-blade your could look for Mercs or one of the others: Stiletto, Vortex etc.<br /><br />Although not new, your motor share props with the later series - even Mercruiser outdrives.

Re: Looking for Prop......

Right now, I'm running a 13-3/4" x 24P, four blade Trophy prop.... The hole shot is great (IMO) but the top speed could be better... I'm pushing a 1250 lb Ranger 371V, and WOT speed is about 55-58 mph.... My real concern is my rpms at WOT, which only get up to 5300...<br /><br />What do you guys recommend? I'd like to increase my speed (or maintain it) as much as possible due to tournaments I'd like to fish in the future, as well as getting my rpms up to 5700-5800...<br />I thought a 22p 4-blade would be the best way to go... USED, Cheap as possible, etc... But I'm open to all suggestions...
