Props?

[dustin]

Who makes the best preformance props? I'm looking for a 3 blade 25" pitch SS prop. Just wanted the best and some info on who that is.

Depends on what engine , size and boat . Then it boils down to personal opinion . Each engine manufacturer will have a prop that works better on a certain engine .

Dustin I think the 25 would be too much. I think I'm running a 25 on mine which is a vmax 200 on a 19'6"

But Big Fish is correct all 3 blade 25 are not the same. A 25 Tempest is different in performance charstatics then a 25 Renegade for example. Both have the same pitch but both have different performance charstatics. Kinda like have a race between two Ford Mustangs. one will out perform the other.

Anthony just had his prop re worked with some fellow up in Indiana and he gained 3mph just by him cleaning up the edges and polishing it. (dont walk too close to his prop now it will cut you)

Check out the prop page/forum on the Bass Boat Central page
the fellow is listed threre.

I've never had bad luck with Mercury trophy's on any combo. Props are specific to you boat motor combo due to multiple factors. Some boats like bow rise and others dont. Bullets for example like to run level and like a prop with stern lift. This is a light boat and thats its characteristic. Skeeters are heavy and would likely need more bow lift to gain top speed. I would though which ever your choice, contact Billy at Performance Marine. I've had them rework props that have always improved performance, low, mid, and top end. My last Bullet picked up 4 MPH with his mods.
