It was a 17p 14.75" IIRC.

I am going to try to compare to the 17p Mirage:
17P 14.5" Enertia
19P 14" Enertia

Seems as the boat does not like the smaller diameter. Was able to squeeze max 4200 rpm out of it. May try a 15p mirage.

Call B Blades. They will consult with you over the phone. They helped guide me in the right direction. They actually recommended a 4 blade prop for mine, but that was before the re power.

Thanks so much @Jonesyfxr

So I found a winner. I tried the 17p enertia Eco. I was able to achieve 46mph @4600 rpm and a nice cruise speed of 34mph @3400rpm, I don't think it's going to get better than that. I was very impressed with that prop. I was able to get on plane with no issues with 3 people and 60 gallons of fuel. I gained 1.3mph on top end and about 2mph at 3400 and only lost 50rpm from the mirage plus 17p. I also tried a 15p Mirage plus and was able to get 5k rpms but at a lousy 41mph.

Man that boat must be heavy! I'd think a 19p would be better, but what do I know? Lol

If you need any help send me a PM, I'm not far from you.

javi1782 05-06-2015 05:41 PM

Thanks man I really appreciate it. The 19 did very poorly. It's about 4200lbs dry.

Consider it a pay it forward. It's the least I can do after all the halo that was given to me here by OSO members.
