[QUOTE="Baby John, post: 437716, member: 21583"] If you buy a stainless power tech prop and don't like it you can return it for a fee of about $50 and swap it for one with a different pitch so long as you don't scar or scratch it before you return it. I'd definitely drop down 1" in pitch but I don't think I'd go lower than that. I know there's a formula for the calculation but..sometimes that "Slip" factor that's also a part of the formula is just different and with just a 1" drop in pitch you'll change that "slip" factor as well. Besides everyone who owns a boat wants it to go as fast as it can go regardless of whether or not it's already going "fast enough". I do at least. Call Power Tech and tell them what you're doing. They have a dozen different styles of props and they'll listen to your description and will make the best recommendation for you. They know what they're talking about. [/QUOTE]
