Prop ?????
Nice calm day on the lake yesterday so I thought I may see what top end is on new motor. Playing with the trim I maxed out at just under 50 on speedo (forgot to bring gps) and 4800 rpm with 15x17 aluminum prop. Should I be happy there since I rarely run fast anyway or could I change prop pitch for more top end?

Change to a stainless prop for better top end. And if you hit some sand it probably wont even hurt the prop but with the aluminum one you will be replacing it.
|
What engine did you go with? Is it a 22 Classic?
|
It's a 1990 GT210. Very similar to the Regazza from the late 80s. Very heavy boat. Went with a 350. Pretty close to stock as I am more interested in reliability.

15x17 propeller
go with stainless as it is thinner but five times the strength of a ordinary aliuminum propeller,stich with the orginal equipment for stainlees such as a sst prop and you could have a touch of cupping added for extra performance/any other questions you may have just e-mail us and we will be glad to help out/have a great week /Darin:)
