    Prop Question

    Quick question......running a 89 Ricky Green Fishing Machine with a 90 GT175 on the back end. The current prop i have is a Turning Point Express 14 1/4 x 23P and in my opinion it is junk.......hole shot and stability at WOT is the biggest complaint. Have not been happy with the prop at all.

    I am in the position to splurge a little and have been looking at the Tempest Plus and Fury props.......any recommendations? Pitch on the current prop seems to be ok, 5600 RPM at WOT, hitting around 55 mph, could maybe do a little better? Motor is in tip top shape!

    Might want to ask on the evinrude/Johnson boards what prop they recommend on that motor. Probably going to need water pressure at wot numbers and motor height to pad numbers, also 3 or 4 blade now? Seems to me you're losing a couple mph's by not turning your prop at 5800-5900
