Need some infor on turbo hot shot

[merc 18xd]

Hi

I need some info on the turbo hot shot.

The boat is a 14ft jonboat (wide) with a casting deck added, powered by an 1981 35hp evinrude.

The pitch i'm looking for is 15".

So how much of an improvement in mph am i looking for with this prop.

Thx

Sorry, improvement over a 15" pitch aluminum prop

Re: Need some infor on turbo hot shot

If the 15" aluminum prop gets you in the right rpm range then the 15" HS will too but will allow you to raise the motor some for improved efficiency. However, if the 15 aluminum isn't in the right rpm range, the HS won't (most likely) be either.

If the 15 aluminum is in good shape and puts you where you want to be, the 15 HS is a good choice.
