Turning Point Hustler Prop Question

[jeep187]

I have a 2006 Yamaha 50 2 Stroke on a 18' Pontoon Boat. The factory RPM Range is 4500 - 5500 RPM @ WOT

It origionally came with a 12 1/4 x 9 Yamaha Prop and and ran WOT at 5400 - 5500 rpms 15.2 mph w/ 2 adults and a teanager.

I then bought a Turning Point Hustler 12 x 10.5 and ran WOT at 4900 rpms 18 - 19 mph w/ same 2 adults and a teanager same load. Wich was kind of on the mid to low end of the RPM range.

So i then bought Turning Point Hustler 12 1/2 x 8 thinking it would jump my RPMs back up near the Yamaha 12 1/4 x 9 and ran WOT at 4950 - 5000 rpms 16 - 17 mph w/ same 2 adults no teanager same load.

Any info or help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Re: Turning Point Hustler Prop Question

While the Hustler can produce excellent results there have been reports of unpredictable result to the point of suspected miss labeled props.
If you can find a Solas Amita 8" 4 blade I think it will do well.
