Tahoe Q7I

[plumcrazy]

I have been searching thru the forum and have not found much info. I have a 2008 Q7I with the 5.0 turn key merc with an alpha outdrive the prop is still the factory 19 pitch alum. Well its time for a new prop and I am wanting to get the best performance prop I can get for my activites (mainly pulling the kids on a tube and crusing) I mainly ride in lakes and rivers. I am wanting to go SS so pretty much anything will be better than my old alum. What are yall suggestions on props.

Thanks, Brandon

Re: Tahoe Q7I

Without your present performance info as suggested in the stickies at the top I would suggest The19"pitch Turning Point Hustler in aluminum; close to SS performance at AL prices.The only vented aluminum $136 including hub.Right here at Iboats.

By turn key, I assume you mean 5.0mpi. I dropped to a 17 pitch 4 blade and it runs great.

Ayuh,... Why is it time for a New prop,..??

If it's because you Chewed up the other 1,... You do Not want a SSteel wheel....
You'll be Trashing the Drive, rather than the Prop,...

Btw,... Welcome Aboard,.....
