#1. 5.0L w/OMC Cobra drive.<br />#2. Current prop Michigan Wheel 14.5" x 19 pitch, old, tired, a bit worn (but so is the rest of the boat 
)and will be a great backup.<br />#3. WOT around 4500 RPM (45 MPH).<br />#4. 1988 Bayliner / 1950 BR / Fiberglass<br />#5. Wanted: Fish, Ski, hole-shot, top-end, efficiency .<br /> <br />Prefer aluminum, lighter on the wallet, easier on the drive and keeps Mommy off my back, I'm already fearing the first fill-up at $3.60 a Gallon !!!<br /><br />Its down to the Turning Point 14 1/4 x 19 Hustler or the Michigan Wheel 14 1/2 x 19 Vortex. Both claim to be aluminum props with performance and stainless characteristics. What do you think? Vote or recommend another...SS is out for now.<br /><br />THANKS!
