I'm running a 14 3/4 x 17 SS Viper. 5600 - 5800 rpms trimmed out depending on sea conditions & fuel weight.

Most prop shops let you try different props before purchase. Big difference between SS & Alumin

I've got a 300 on a hermco bracket on my Tsunami. I'll give you the dimensions after checking this weekend but it's a 4 blade.

Hey LadyLuck,

I know this is not responsive to your question, but PLEASE post some performance numbers once you get the 300 mounted and up and running. I may upgrade to a 300 etec at some point in the near future........ thanx
