[QUOTE="southernZ, post: 264114, member: 8834"] Hello, I recently purchased my first boat, '06 semi-V Alumacraft Waterfowler 15 w/ a 25 Yamaha T/H 25. It has the stock aluminum prop, but one of the blades has a pretty good chip in it. The boat planes out well already, but i am wanting to get as much speed out of it as i can. I fish Rivers and some good size lakes, which means I run the boat for some pretty long stretches. This being my first boat i am completely clueless as to what pitch prop i should look for, the best place to get it from, etc....lol...I considered a jack plate, but upon measuring the fin right above my prop, it is about 1" lower than the bottom of the boat. Is that good or can it be flush w/ the bottom? Sorry for all the questions, i did search but i just need someone to explain the whole relation between degree pitch and speed.. Thanks!
