BMAJ, By the way. I currently run 14x23" ALUMINUM props. My buddy has a 17' whaler with a 70 hp Evinrude(Suzuki 4 Stroke) and he tried many different ss props and was never happy. I lent him a 14x17" Suzuki aluminum prop and it was perfect. My advice, Try a 14x20 or 14x21 ALUMINUM prop. Remember this gearcase and powerhead is geared way low so running a 21" prop is not out of the question. You might be suprised. Save $$$$$, save weight and the dealer probably has quite a few aluminum's laying around. Prop it for about 5850rpm's trimmed up,wide open and howling. Let me know after the weekend.
