Re: what prop

Instead of having to go through a whole Q&A session.It would be better if you tell us your present prop size,gps speed and rpm.And your typical boat activities and load. Selecting a prop is like trying to select the best overall single gear to use on a car.If running on the flat no load high will work add load and hills will change that and so on.Want great hole shot another change.A prop is a comprimise based on the required performance.
