Converting prop size

[Blujay96]

Last summer I had hswii size a prop for my 1987 v180 rinker wit a 3.0 mercruiser and he sized a solas 4 blade 19" prop. What would that convert to a hustler 3 blade prop. I am going to put smart taps on the boat also. So I am wondering if the hustler will be better with the smart tabs. My thought is I would not need the extra lift of the fourth blade. Any thoughts??

Re: Converting prop size

I like the Hustler props but they are a really agressive prop and sometimes the 3.0
doesn't do well with them.hsiii is usually right on with his suggestions.
Any prop change is a bit of a gamble.Changing brands and style adds even more
unknowns. If your performance seems to be within expected specs now I would add the smart tabs and see what thec results are.Then make the decision on the 4 blade prop.At this point in my experience I wouldn't recommend the Hustler for your setup.The smart tabs not only improv hole shot but stay on plane with less power,
steady the ride and combat no wake speed wander.
