In article 1103384689.d0185e76b5ed39533aed94649c4268d6@teran ews,
says...
If the prop you have now is the one that was spec'd as OEM, you're not
likely to see dramatic differences by changing pitch or diameter or
number of blades. You indicate you are getting full RPMs -5500- with
your present prop. Changing prop pitch will change that.

There are devices you can bolt onto your lower unit that may give you
the ability to plane the boat at a lower speed...a 20 mph minimum
planing speed seems awfully high to me, but I'm not familiar with your
boat. I have a 25' boat that weighs 3+ tons and it planes at around 17 mph.

A four-blader will give you some additional stern lift.

The planning speed thing was what was bothering me also. It's the main
reason I got to thinking about re propping.

The present prop is in pretty sad shape. I'm hoping that even without
changing anything a new prop of the same spec's will show an improvement
in that area.

Thanks
Mike
