8packs Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Looking at replacing my existing prop with either a differrent prop or one just the same to have a spare. What i have on it now reads 9.25 x 12 3 blades .The motor is a 25hp honda 4 stroke 2006 and it usually pushes a 16ft Lund Rebel Adventure Series with lets say around 1000lbs.of weight.I am not sure about the rpm of the motor itself.I guess what the most that i am looking for is top end speed.Thanks for your help.

marine_man Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 What is the performance like right now? Holeshot and Top End?When you start looking for a prop I'd recommend giving Jay Soderbloom at Soderblooms a call... multiple people have had great luck with him.marine_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8packs Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Maybe out of the hole a little sluggish and top end with all the gear 16-18 mph. With one man 25-26mph.On both occasions it still seems like it needs to clean it self out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydro Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Sounds like the prop pitch you have is about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine_man Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I agree... it sounds like it's where you need to be.marine_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdalimit Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I had a 13 pitch and it would barely plane out so we went to an 11. Much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
