What size prop?

[Reggie08]

I'm nearing the point where I need to start thinking about a prop for my 85 'Rude 90hp. My boat is an 1860 aluminum flatbottom with humongous float-pods on the back. Top end speed is what I'm more concerned with since the float pods help get the boat on plane. Boat isn't too terribly heavy though it's a stout boat.

What size prop should I consider using on this motor? I prefer staying with aluminum unless there is a smoking hot deal on a stainless steel prop.

Re: What size prop?

Really difficult to figure a prop without your present prop size,max rpm and speed.wouldn't hurt to know approximate weight,typical load and activity.
