good towing prop?
 
I need a good prop to pull skiers, tubes and the ocasional parasail. I tried a high five on my 22 eliminator eagle and what a hunk of junk. Couldnt even plain out. Motor is a 540 with a bravo 1 drive 1.50. I dont need a speed prop but one that will bite pull things slow and on plane. I was told a vensura 14 1/2 x 17 would be a good prop for pulling the parasail @ around 18 mph with no slipping with a boat load of people. Another prop was the typhoon that was recomended. Any imput before i bite the bullet and buy one? And or does anyone out there have one for sale? I suppose a 19 picth might still be ok?

what prop are you running now, down size one step and run a 4 blade for low slip, engine will probably over rev if you let it but it should pull like a monster out of the hole.

I did just that. i am running a bravo1 26 pitch so i went to a 24 pitch thinking that would be just right. When i had alot of people in the boat and would pull skiers, the prop felt like it would start to ventilate or slip a little. I only need to pull at around 20 mph or less but want to stay hooked up.

Hands down, A Revolution 4 propeller.

I'm not a big Vensura fan.
