Default Prop selection for a 38 Fountain lightning

Just got the new boat and wanted to find out if it is propped well and ask the advice from the pro's. 2000 38 lightning t-500efi spinning 26" Hydros 5100 rpm's ~78mph on a liquid filled Gaffrig. The prop does not look like it has been thinned out but the end of the hub has been removed where it flares out.

Re: Prop selection for a 38 Fountain lightning

Most Hydromotive props don't have a diffuser ring on the end of the hub. They usually only put them on if the boat tends to blow the prop out alot when getting on plane.

Give our Service Manager BK a call, he ran many a Fountain in the day and can probably dial you in on the $.
