hey guys new here and would appreciate input/help.
looking for a new prop to provide better low end bite. avg conditons here 2-4ft
a little low on power i know but repower not an option.
vessel is a 2007 striper 2101
yamaha f150
15m alum prop stock
105 gal fuel
50 gal bait tank
fully loaded i'm pushing 5300lbs
test 1 ---conducted in harbor 2-3"chop
wind 5-7 knots
5500 rpm 36 mph
on plane engine trimmed up
50 gal bait tank empty
80 gal fuel
approx weight 4850
test 2 ---in harbor same conditons
5200 rpm 33mph
bait tank full
80 gal fuel
approx weight 5300
test 3 ---outside harbor
4600 rpm approx 22mph
seas 2-3 ft
bait tank full
80 gal fuel
not being concerned with top end speed rather low to midrange punch, was considering a solas 4 blade 13 pitch 13.5" diameter stainless prop. any thoughts or recomendations? chastise as you see fit.
thanks for the help.
