You might want to consider reducing your trial and error process time

I *have* used that -- it says a 14.5x21 is what I need - however, it doesn't ask
me anything about my current performance, unlike the mercury prop site.

Anyway; -- I can't find a 14.5" x 17 prop that is a good performer -- I'm
getting ready to buy a 15x17 prop and have the blades shaved down a 1/4 inch...


You can't find a 14 or 14.5 by 17 prop???? That's a little hard to
believe.

Doing anything to an ss prop with be about $150. I think you ought to
look a little harder for the right prop to start with.
