moving to stainless

[cooter2506]

I am using a 21 pitch aluminum on the boat in signature. 5200 rpm and 51mph gps. RPM range is 4400-4800. I want to move to a stainless. So im looking for recommendations. Thanks in advance

I wouldn't guarantee it, but I think a 21" pitch SS prop would drop your rpm right into range 4800 rpm. Leaving you with 400rpm in reserve for when the boat is loaded down with people, and, or, towing a skiier, tuber, or wakeboarder, possibly bringing the rpm down to 4400rpm.

OK now that I have a pitch to go after any recommendations on prop brand?

Personally I like the Stiletto, plus it's vented for quicker acceleration out of the hole:

(But, watch out! it says counterclockwise rotation on this one ?)

Although the Avenger looks good too, but it is a bit bigger in diameter, which may drag a bit, and it's not vented?
