Thanks.

Now I just gotta figure out what the RPM range is & all that jazz.
I'd rather have better top end & fuel economy...

We just picked up a larson power boat - the PO said it had a "ski prop" on it;

I don't know much about props; but I thought props were 'designed' for engine &
boat -- and couldn't (shouldn't) be swapped about....

is this true? if so; what should the proper prop be for the boat?

Thanks

I bet by ski-prop they mean it has a lower pitch. Thus better whole shot
for popping out folks out of the water and dragging them less. You would
lose a little top end. As long as you don't run the boat in excess of
recomended rpm. It would be fine.

The recomended rpm's (high end) will be with the manufactures
documentation. If you don't have it you can get it from whoever made the
power plant.
