Your input for prop selection...please

[stingraymax]

Hi,<br /><br />I have a 17ft RIB with a 90Hp johnson on it.<br />There was a 13x15 prop on it, on my boat the engine will go 6000 - 62000 rpm with 2 persons on it si I will need another prop I tried a 13x17 and the it was around 5500 rpm. <br /><br />This was with aluminum props niow I was looking for a ss prop but there are so many different models.<br />Can somebody help me narrow my selection.<br />I am looking for a good all round prop and like a good holeshot...<br /><br />So what should I look for ? Apollo, renegade, rapture, ballistic, turbo prop, raker, viper... ????<br /><br />Thanks for any input.<br /><br />Stef

Re: Your input for prop selection...please

I'd probably start with testing a 17 Stiletto. If the r's are still around 5500 then you can adjust the X domension to gain some. The Stiletto will have more lift than the aluminum props so that will help. You may end up with a 15 but that just seems too small on that boat. Unless there's a lot more drag than I think. But lift should help that.
