We currently have a 17P Mercury Vengeance prop on a F200 (we bought the boat with the prop already on). I want to change the prop out to get where I want to be and have been looking at 15P props. The engineer in me says to just change one variable so stick with a Vengeance but go to 15P. I have a basic understanding of props and have played enough with prior boats that I think that would put performance where I want to be.
But....I keep reading and looking at the "post your specs here" and it seems everybody loves the Mercury Enertia and Yamaha Reliance props. What effect can I expect to see going from a basic prop like the Vengeance to the props marketed as higher performance like the Enertia and Reliance? Like I mentioned before, I understand the basics but am fairly clueless to the different materials, cupping, etc. The Enertia would also be 1/2-inch diameter larger in that pitch.
Thanks in advance!
