I have an 18' flats skiff, 5' beam, with a 75' merc 50hp on a jackplate with 6 inches setback, and smart tabs (to keep porpoising to a minimium but still noticable in rough water)
Currently I get about 5100 RPM at 35 MPH with 2 people and gear (full load) and 15" pitch aluminium 3 blade prop.
I would like to get a new prop that allows me to run the motor higher in the water w/o blow out, cavitation. I was looking at a Mercury Trophy Sport but I don't need anymore bow lift, as it porpoises already.
Any suggestions?
