TRBenj wrote: I would beg, borrow or steal a prop to avoid buying one before running the boat. Trying to prop an unknown powertrain/hull combination correctly right out of the box will be tough, especially when you throw in the ballast. My guess is that a 422 or similar (12.5x15.5) would be a good starting point, if you had a choice- but anything in the 13x15 or 13x16 range would work for starters. I still agree with what I said before... the 422 is my best guess at what you want, if you dont run with ballast exclusively and want a good all around prop. Trying something before spending big bucks on a new prop would be nice though! With the BFN hull, you also have room to fit a 14" diameter prop, by the way (14x14 was stock on all but the very early BFN's). I have a 14x16 stainless OJ that Im selling with <5min of runtime on it.

The 3-blade OJ wont run as nice as a new-school Acme for watersports, IMHO, but its cheaper and would be a good baseline prop, if nothing else. It would probably get your WOT RPM's pretty darn close to where they need to be on that hull/engine combo as well (5,000). My contact info is in the other post if youre interested. ------------- Posted By: oldcuda Date Posted: March-28-2012 at 8:52pm If you want I will bring you the 13x15 that I have on my boat when I pick up the 14x16 SS that way you can test it on yours without spending any $$$ Posted By: oldcuda Date Posted: March-28-2012 at 8:54pm I messed that up I thought TRBenj posted that sorry
