My Yamaha Exclusive center didn't know their ass from their heads when I repowered my 1975 BW Montauk with a 90SHO. I have gone through 15", 17" 19", and now a Talon SS 22" is on the way. I suspect I might be able to go even bigger than that. The 19 gets me 38mph(gps) at 6100rpm. This combo is a torque monster and great for water sports. But, I know I can hit 50mph with the right combo. Factors: WEIGHT, HEIGHT OF PROP LOCATION, HULL TYPE
BIGGEST MISTAKE FOLKS MAKE IS NOT TESTING THE BOAT AS YOU WOULD USE IT....IF YOU NORMALLY RUN ALONE AND LIGHT LOADS THEN TEST THAT WAY ....IF YOU MORE OFTEN LOAD UP THE BOAT WITH GEAR AND PEOPLE THEN TEST IT THAT WAY .....SOMETIMES YOU NEED 2 PROPS WE DID WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND WATER SKIING REGULARLY , MY DAD WOULD CHANGE TO THE SKI PROP AND THE BOAT WAS A ROCKET OUT OF THE HOLE BUT WAS 10 MPH SLOWER AT WOT AND WOULD OVER REV IF NOT CAREFULL BUT THE POWER TO PULL ME OUT OF THE WATER ON ONE SKI WAS NEEDED BUT MAXIMUM SPEED IN SLALOM IS 36 MPH SO WE DIDNT NEED TOP SPEED WHICH WHEN PROPPED FOR SPEED WAS 46-50 MPH DEPENDING ON LOAD . SO LONG STORY SHORT ....GET 2 PROPS ...LOL....WE HAD A 21" AND A 17" NOW WE RUN 30" AND 26" WE RUN 7300 @ 105 MPH AND 9000 @ 105....ONE TAKES 1/2 MILE TO SPEED ONE TAKES 1/4 MILE TO SPEED ....
I have a 2018 mercury 100 hp command thrust with today a black max aluminium 17p that slips on the water under hard accelration or trimming out on the outboard. I bought a slightly used mercury vengeance 19p can i use the samme flo torq ii hub kit i use on the black max on this vengeance prop?
Greetings I have a 2005 yamaha F60 4 stroke and I would like to know what type of propeller would work best for my boat. I have a boston whaler 15 feet from 1994 weighing between 950lbs that propellers you recommend for my engine it is for sea of salt water
By back to the drawing board, you mean trial and error at the cost of every prop tried, then it is an expensive drawing board. I am in the drawing board arena right now and the 1st recommended prop after a long discussion has me running a larger prop (diameter) and much lower pitch. We'll see when it arrives if Im headed back to the damned drawing board.
