[QUOTE="sierra1995, post: 101974, member: 1059"] Give Bismarck prop works a call, he has more information than most of us here. My guess would be try a three blade aluminum 13p and see where that takes you. If it takes you a long time to get up on plane then you went to aggressive and should go back to an 11p. Diameter will make some difference,the bigger it is the more water you will pass through, but will also lower your RPMs. I personally wouldn't put a stainless prop on that boat/motor because you a likely fishing on smaller bodies of water and not going to notice much performance difference between the aluminum and stainless. An aluminum prop is more forgiving on stumps and rocks as well. Just my recommendation. I know of several people that don't put their stainless props on until they are headed to larger bodies of water such as Oahe of Sakakawea. One of my previous boats was a 1984 crestliner noric with a 35 evinrude tiller. I don't know what prop was on it but I could do 27 [/QUOTE]
