Hello,

I currently have a little quicksilver aluminum boat with a 25hp force/mercury lightning and a ballistic 15p which does alright but is just unable to touch 40mph so i want to purchace a 30HP Mercury Lightning for it.

The question is the prop, the standart prop wont do any good so i am looking at a Ballistic 15p or an Aluminum 17p michicanmatch or maybe a rapture 15p? or a Vortex 16p or Apollo 15p! lol

My boat comes complely out of the water so there is little resistance and engine is always at max rpm ifnot over it.

anyone know whats the best idea? im all about top-speed.. acceleration is always good cuz my boat is only 140lbs :)

thnx.. but why?

i know alu bends more under load but its 17p.. can it really be that bad? not to forget alu is very light.
