I bought a used boat that is a 1989 Bayliner Capri 16' (1500 lbs)
Currently I have a 14X17 prop. (when I look up the part# 0176214 I get this - AL PROP 13.25 X 17)
I have a 1979 evinrude 85999r motor that I am having to rebuild, re-seal and so-on so forth. The prop is really chewed up on the edges like the previous owner would use it in the Mississippi and plow through the rocky bottoms for fun. I would like to go to SST prop instead of AL. According to the Evinrude service manual the OEM options were:
12-3/4 x 21
12-3/4 x 23
13-1/2 x 23
There were Viper options listed in the service manual.
VIPER V4 13.875 X 15
VIPER V4 13.875 X 17
VIPER V4 13.875 X 19
I use this as a family fishing boat on lakes and pulling a tube or ski behind on occasion. I do not have an rpm gauge, but the non-GPS speedo says that it is going about 30mph. (I had to rewire and clean the speed-o just to get it to work)
So I am confused if I should be going with 13.25 X 17 or 13.25 X 21. Also the brands and or models of the props very and so I was thinking the Stiletto series. I would be greatfull for any input you have to offer.
