Prop question?
Return to DiscussionsWe bought an 18' Bayliner this summer, we have a jeep and did not want to get a big truck so boat size and weight was limited to the towing capacity of our jeep, max tow 3,500lbs.
Boat has a 115hp outboard, we ski behind it the wife can get up on a slalom ski no problem. I weight 185 and its a struggle, currently running a 16p 3 blade at Lake Powell 3,600' ABSL and I hit close to max rpm's with that prop. I can run wide open 5800rpm @ 38mph max rpm is 6000.
Considering a 15p 4 blade prop for better acceleration to get me up quicker and easier, not to concerned about losing a little top end speed.
Thoughts?
Well hey Barebunz, didn't expect to see you down in a Gulf Coast Boat Club. We are still heading that way in October, but don't know if we'll make it to Lake Powell. Anyway, switch to the 15 pitch and you'll be glad you did. You will have more pulling torque and close to the same top end speed. Richard and Nanette
