Got the boat out on the lake this weekend after installing the Quicksilver Black Diamond prop. Went with the same specs as the old prop 14.25 x 21.
Well it feels like a 19. The boat snaps up on plane twice as fast as it did with the old prop.
It's revving higher. It used to be about 4600 wot. I now go past 4600 on the way to wot. I'll take it upto 5000, but no farther, as I don't have the manual with me up here at the lake. I don't want to over rev the motor and I don't know how much is too much.
So I still haven't gone wot since the new prop was installed.
But it feels pretty sweet coming out of the hole so crisp.
The Quicksilver might have the same specs as the old prop but it's more agressive.
Btw, the 4.3 is the HO version and the motor has been stroked .40 over.
