20' Bennington with Yamaha T60 HP 4 stroke.......I just replaced my 14 x 11dual thrust Prop with a 14 x 11 that is not dual thrust.......before I try it, I'm wondering if I have made a mistake......will I detect any differences? I do very little reversing....please advise...Thanks

Why did you switch?  I'm running a Quicksilver 14 x 11 and have been wanting to try Yamaha's DT prop.

I have a 2010 24 SFI.  Yamaha 115. Bought it used with 28hrs on motor, came with a three blade, aluminum, standard prop. No mickey mouse ears for blades.. it was swinging a 14x17.   Got 22-23 miles per hour with four adults, fishing gear, ice , livewells full etc.  Throttle would hit 5400.  Swithced to a Yamaha Stainless Steel prop designed for pontoons, Mickey Mouse 3 blade.  14X15. I expected higher RPM's.. no go.  It dropped the RPM's to 4700 WOT but still hitting around 22-23 mph.. same load.   Tried a 3rd prop.  Mercury QuickSilver Nemesis 14X13.   Hitting 5600 RPM,  25-27 MPH same load.  This prop bites good. Takes off well from a sit still and has increased my top speed..   Give it a try.
