I recently purchased a used aluminum tiller boat with a yammie F70. The boat is a G3 Angler V172.
The prop on it is in need of repair and/or replacement. I plan on using it primarily on Lake Sakakwea so I’m leaning towards a SS prop with an alloy prop for a back up.
The prop on it now is a 12 pitch with a 13.875 diameter prop. Previous owner states that he got 28 mph top end with excellent hole shot. I have no idea where he was at in terms of RPM’s.
I have a couple of spare props in my garage and I’m wondering if either would work on this boat; both are Solas 15 pitch SS in 14.5 diameter. One is a three blade and the other a 4 blade prop. Does anyone have an educated guess on if either of these props could perform on this boat? Or is the diameter too big to even try?
If I have to buy a prop or two, I’d prefer to run Mercury props as the dealer that’s closest for me sells them, also I’ve good luck with them in the past.
Does anyone have any advise?
Thanks
