I'm picking up a new boat tomorrow. Photos will follow at Chuck's.

Gotta like this recession!

Can't wait to see it. But, we're going to Fort Story, VA, camping for the
next three days. I'll see it then.

Nothing special. Just a boat that can get me into places the other boat
can't.

It's there now. I've been shopping for insurance for the last two
hours. Looks like Progressive gets to insure both boats. This one
costs as much as the 19.5 CC with the 115 to insure!

Can I benefit from a SS prop on a boat like that? I will buy a spare of
some sort.

No, I have a little 18' Chris Craft Scorpion, and a pretty good ( not
pretty nice looking) 23' Marquis cuddie.

they're both good boats, but nothing pristine.

Yeah, you'll be better off with an SS prop. You might not notice much
in the way of performance, but if you're like me, I'll take my boat
where the fish are, if that means darned near beaching it! I really,
really like G3's they are built solid.

You are in central IL, right? I must have confused you with another
guy/boat.

Do you keep them both on trailers?

I remember the PITA it was choosing a SS prop for my 19.5'CC with the
115. I tried a four blade and ended up giving it to a friend with a 125
on his Tracker.

Once I break in the 90, if the aluminum prop turns out to be the correct
pitch at WOT, do I go up or down for SS? I think the rule of thumb is
to drop down in pitch. Does that sound right?

It really depends on the boat. Boat I had a few years ago, I used
exactly the same prop pitch as the aluminum prop that came on it. Now
whether that prop was original or not, I don't know.
