T&T: Props

[Vance Nelson]

Ken, there is a lot of info needed to properly size props for your boat.  

Length of boat, weight of your boat, type of hull, engine brand and HP,
published Wide Open Throttle for your engine, distance from the center of
the shaft to the bottom of the boat (i.e. clearance),  what is WOT with your
present props, single engine or twin, type of keel if a single etc.

The folks at Michigan Wheel can do an analysis for you.  Expect about $1500
or more per prop.  They have really gone up!

Hello all,

Once again I could use some direction from the list.  I am going to replace
my
props next spring, using the existing ones as back ups.  I am not  'married'
to any type or manufacturer, and I will view all comments as positive.  Not
exactly sure of the size, I do believe they are 22x18.  Any additional info
needed please let me know.  Boat will be cruising at a slow leisure pace
while
doing the Loop.  Fuel consumption is more important than speed.

Thanks to all in advance.
