Stainless prop..........

I had a SS OJ on my 205 & only the 285 hp Chevy TBI. The boat kept up with my buddies PS190 that had an LT1 in it..... up to maybe 30 mph, then the LT1 walked away from me. The SS prop definitely had a lot better holeshot.

Interesting. On my old SSLX, it had the original SS CVP prop when I acquired the boat. I changed it to an ACME 525 and the whole shot improved tremendously. I'm sure that was due to much more than the switch from SS to NiBral, but either way the performance gain was awesome.

More surface area for potentially better hole shot, but that comes along with slightly more drag at top end.

My buddy has one on his Response (as an upgrade at the time of purchase) and it performs very well. He has never removed it from his boat (an '04), so he won't let me try it on mine. He has zero vibration and doesn't want to invite the boogeyman.

So what brand and specs is this four bladed prop? Would be interesting to know if and what the performance difference would be over my ACME 515 with my L96!

OJ 13x13. I can't really tell you about performance difference, I mostly want it for the stainless because it fits my needs best.

Hummmm. Another 1" In Pitch over my ACME 515, but in SS. Would be interesting to know.
