I have been doing a search on proper prop size for the 23' inboard and was wondering what prop Miles offshore ended up with or any other suggestions. Is the correct prop a 16 x 17 with a # 5 cup? I bought my boat with the 4 blade and it is a dog. 17 knots burning 12 gph. There is no cup but after reading the post, I guess I need to trash the 4 blade and get a 3 blade. I have an old 17 x 17 3 blade I have as a spare. Can I use the 17 x 17 with say a #3 cup to get the same results as the 16 x 17 # 5 cup? I AM SO CONFUSED!!!
