Default Re: prop question, do rpm matter?

Sandy as I said that is fine on a Rude, Mercs need 5400 minimum which is about all I can get now with that Stiletto I have, I wish I could swap it for a 17 because I like the prop alot. Correction, Rude Loopers need more RPM than the 90'V motors.

I was at the shop today picking mine up and they had a 17 Mirage and a 17 PowerTech, then the son pops up and said he had tried both of them and niether would trim his boat nearly as well as his - Stiletto - dad turns to me and says " maybe you need to stick with what you got"

If bumping around for props, this thing made a world of difference on mine, keep in mind they are aggressive and you will lose RPM against most other props, almost 300 for me but they work damn good on SeaCrafts. I got mine used for 150 so they are out there
