As the title states.


My boat was delivered with an Enertia 15.5 inch 13 pitch SS prop. She ran 38 at a 6000 rpm WOT. This was after the break-in period.


With an Enertia 15" 15 pitch prop, she ran 43 at 5600 rpm WOT. Mid range and hole shot continued to be exceptional. She seemed to run smoother in the mid range, too!


My lesson learned? Don't just take the dealer's word that the prop they installed is the proper one. In my case, it clearly WAS NOT.

Nice Randy!  Our dealer put the same prop on ours.  The water test on delivery we got to just over 36mph.  With the boat loaded with equipment, full tank, double bimini open and hubby, the dogs and I we got to 33mph.  Our dealer is great at matching props to boats!  We are lucky in that dept.
