My 1997 115 HP carbureted Merc is sluggish out of the hole with ethanol fuel. I've heard these four blade props really do make a big difference in performance. I'm pushing a 1802 model Trophy with two sometimes three in the boat. What say you, worth the dollar or all hype? :confused:

Re: Is the prop worth the buck?

Read the stickies at the top of the page.Tell us what you have.
Best way to select a prop is with the base line of what you now have.
prop size,max rpm and speed.typical load in lbs. Sluggish hole shot. ??
10 seconds?40seconds?
Some of us wouldn't know a Trophy if we fell over it.Aluminum,glass?
bow rider etc. dry weight?Give us all you can.
