Bass Tracker 93
Member
I have been restoring a 1993 Bass Tracker 17tx (didn't come with an outboard). I have completed my restoration and I purchased a new 50hp Mercury 4 cycle outboard motor that i'm picking up in 2 weeks. I believe they do not come with a propeller so I'm trying to research what to get. Mercury Marine website suggested a BlackMax 12.5" 9 pitch prop along with about a dozen other props. I guess my boat is probably 350 lbs before ppl, gas, etc and will have 2 adults in it and my boat is 17 feet so entering in that information i guess that is right??? Any help is appreciated. What else do i need? i am thinking a transom saver is a good thing to have. What about those transom brakets for extra reinforcement? I know I don't "need" them but i figure its better to put them on now before the install.
This is my first boat so i want to purchase a decent prop and have no idea what to get. I"m basically just cruising around a river to bass fish and occasionally i may pull 2 small kids in a tube for fun. Thanks in advance.
