I tried a 16 x 16 and went back to a 16 x 15. I do a lot of drifting and rip running and found that it works better for the eastern end of LI which is where most of my fishing is done. I also like that it helps when loaded up and sea conditions are less than ideal. The cruise was a bit better w/the 16 x16.
I turn LH w 315 hp or so. Vortec BW 1.52 - 1 Best advise I can offer is to try either and see what works best for how you run and what you do. Keep us posted!

Ran the boat - finally - only got to 4600 RPM with the 16x16 and a full load - ( 90 gallons gas, 4 people, all gear on boat) thinking I am going to have to try the 16x15 - it ran fine at cruise to me, but I think the extra 100 HP deceived me - a lot more power than I had before. Engine specs call for min 4800 - 5200 WOT with 5000 being optimal. I am afraid not changing the prop will put extra stress on the engine at cruise. Any other thoughts?
