jodylsmith2002 · 04-21-05, 05:46 AM

a 19p wow seems wrong to me what is the other number? my 50 only runs a 10.25x13-15p but it is a yammaha.

It ia an 11 1/2 by 19p. I thought it should have about a 13 or 15 since it is on a fiberglass boat

kinda boggy doesn't describe begin to describe it. With just myself it is a little boggy but with 2 people it may take over a minute to get it to plane out.Even then i cant trim it hardly at all before the nose starts coming back up.but with one person it will eventually trim up and scoot nicely across the lake.problem is that i dont have a tach on it to find my rpm's.

according to my sorces a 19p is the highest pitch you can buy for that moter rudes run 15-19p i would either move down to a 17p or a 15p a 15 will get you out of the hole and on plane quite well but you lose about 5 mph off your top end. a 17 would be inbetween still a tad boggy but only 2-3 off the top end.

i am currantly awaiting a ss prop for my yamaha. cableas have them for your moter at $230 plus shipping.
