Thx and yes going to call him and work thru it. Since my Suzuki prop will be a backup going shoot for the best I can choose from hopefully never need backup

Oldboat what did the 18 1/2 Suzuki prop run like? Do you have any performance #s with that prop? According to my research that should be the go to Suzuki prop for your boat. I have also heard good things about Mercury's eco enertia 19p prop on the high hp Suzuki's, mounted on SeaCraft hulls. They use the same 16 diameter blades as the Suzuki props but are shaped a little differently. I don't think the performance would be any better then your current Suzuki 18 1/2 prop tho. Might be able to raise the motor a little higher without ventilation wile turning, do to blade design. Please keep us posted on how you make out!
