I currently have a Tracker Pro Guide V-16 with a 50 HP 2 stroke MERC and running the stock prop that is 10.5 x 13, 30 MPH @ 5500 RPM WOT which is the max. Am I safe to assume that if I buy a Turning Point or a Solas prop I at least get the same performance as I am not looking to make a performance change just need a spare?

Re: General Prop Replacement ?'n

The Rascal and Hustler props are really agressive and somewhat unpredictable.
They can provide close to stainless performance.
Yes you should get at least the same performance but its not unheard of to have
poor performance from a carelessly selected prop.Could cause premature problems
with the motor as well.
The Solas amita 4 blade is more predictable and can provide a signifigant improvement in low end performance. You might give us more info.boat weight,typical load,activities.whatever prop you select.
