[Johnscott]

ok i was directed to talk to you about a prop. i have an 07 bayliner 175 with a 3.0 135hp. i am doing alot of wakeboarding and skiing behind the boat. what prop should i change to. should it be stainless or aluminum and is it that big of a deal on the material

Re: another prop ? for Dhadley

We've found that the ss props hold their shape much better than aluminum and can have more complex shapes than aluminum. Since you have an I/O we won't be concerned with the prop running near the surface but rather concentrating on pulling power throughout the rpm band. There are props that are made specifically for what you're doing.

What brand and size prop are you running now? And what would you like another prop to do differently?

Re: another prop ? for Dhadley

i would be lying if i told you i knew what prop i was running now. all i know is it is the stock prop and its aluminum. the biggest thing i would like to do is get the boarder out of the water faster. kinda like having more torque in a car.
