I would like to thank Iboats and the fellas on the forum with all of the great info for my prop buying decision. I have a 20011 yamaha 25 4stk that came with a 9&7/8ths 10.5 pitch aluminum prop. it met its demise shortly after purchase due to a rock , The dealer sold me a michigan wheel match that was identical for close to $200 . I was kinda unhappy with the what seemed like excessive rpm at WOT . Though holeshot was good the motor seemed as if it was spinning its wheels so to speek.
After reading other peoples problems and the recamended fixes I purchaced from IBoats a solas saturn 10.5" X 11 pitch and let me tell you it is like adding 5hp. though the engine does not rev as high in the holeshot it takes off faster, my topend is 2 mph faster with a more comfortable WOT but the most increase came in the mid range with better cruise speed, better fuel effiency and better acceleration !
