I have a 1995 Larson 173 sei with a V6 180 hp Mercrusier motor. I have never experimented with different props since I'm not looking any special performance. Currently I have two aluminum props, not sure of the pitch but one is a power prop and one other is a speed prop. What are your suggestions to a fairly dumb boat mechanic to try new props? Am I opening a large can of worms? Should I switch to SS? Currently my boat goes about 45 mph but it's always fun to make it go faster. Thanks for your comments.

Do you have some top RPM figures with the other props??? That would be point "A"..

Read the very first post in this forum. It tells you what's needed when making prop selections. Without some base line information its anyones guess. You may already have the best prop.
