Prop change: any thoughts

[Bushwacker]

A spare is an absolute must for Bahama trips! If you think prop prices are high here, you don't even want to know what they'd cost if you had to buy one over there! It's also a good idea to carry a spare plastic insert if you run a prop with the newer 2-piece hub system.

Bobby Soles is a good shop in WPB area; don't know if they have a shop up your way. You might give them a call and see if they work with any dealers up that way. ARG in Riviera Beach has some used props they'll let you try. If you know anyone at the BRP test center in Stuart, I'm sure they could get you dialed in real quick! A friend of mine used to be their Chief Engineer, but I believe he has retired.

A low min planning speed is generally indicative of a well balanced boat, so it's worth paying attention to. It's especially nice to have in a 20 when it really gets snotty, but probably less critical in a 23 with more weight and deadrise. Denny
