Thanks for bringing this thread uo.

Have a 26ST in the family . stock engine 5.7 alphas. Great boat for our lake.

My question is , is the 23” merc cleaver still the best prop for this ? After all these years, is that even possible ?

Any significant increase in power and you will need to upgrade the drives.
The Spyder is an awesome boat for its size in the rough stuff
