Switching to SS prop

[Boating_Al]

I’m currently running 17.25 x 25P alum. Prop on my 5.7 Bravo II…I’m thinking of switching to an SS 17.50 x 23P Prop. What should I expect; more speed, better hole-shot, better top-end. Will I be better off with the SS or the Alum...Thanks.

Re: Switching to SS prop

u will lose top end
get around 300-400 more rpm
u will get a better hole shot with a 4 blade

Re: Switching to SS prop

Are you changing size because you're over-propped? What RPM do you get at full throttle with normal load in the boat?
