Default Prop sizing done...

You all can twist the facts all you want. Pitch is pitch. In theory, a
given pitch goes xx inches through the water in one rotation. Given this,
the stainless and the alum will do the same inches in one revolution.
Until, that is, you put some power behind it and the aluminum flattens out a
bit. Thus the higher rpm for the same pitch. You can cup this and cup
that, but the fact is the aluminum flexes and loses pitch. Period.

The OP just did.



no I didn't....
the SS had a more agressive cupping to the blade; the props do not have
the same
physical prop design; so even tho they're the same pitch; they are
different
props...
