latest prop is big 15.25" by 17 pitch 3 blade from mercury. basically same as as Yamaha SW series II
42 mph at 5900, makes for 12% slip. Windy day, good sized fishing load (3 guys, gear, 80 lb ice, half full boat well, 50 gallons gas.
I'm pretty happy, did get a little venting in the sloppy conditions of Saturday. I could probably stand to lower the engine by one notch.
I think Im happy for now, might try to find an 18 one day
