Have a 1990 16 ft Alluminum Blue fin. We will be pulling a tube, and doing some fishing.

Decent boat, but I think your motor is going to struggle a little.<br /><br />Instead of spending big bucks on a stainless prop, I would opt for 2 or 3 aluminums, in a variety of pitches. One for cruising, one for tubing. The performance gain from the stainless is going to be hard to find with that boat and motor. If you had a 90hp on it, I'd say go for it.<br /><br />Yes, the prop on that motor is a small diameter, but you can't do much about that.

I'm not familiar with your boat, but FWIW, I have a '91 Force 50 with original prop, and we have no problems pulling the kids in tubes and even on waterskis from our 15' fiberglas Trophy. I'm 5-11 and 190 lbs., and can get up on parabolic skis, although I don't pop up as quickly as I do with a more powerful boat. You wouldn't want to use it for hard-core skiing, but for general use with kids it's fine. Tubing should be even easier, because you don't need the quick starts that you need for skiing.
