Foil will be all you need to wake up that hole shot.

If you want a performance prop, Merc Trophy Sport in 15p. Merc's website says they no longer make it ....... but there are still a few around on duck boards, etc.

If you're looking for a hunting prop, Merc makes an aluminum Spitfire 4 blade for these motors ....and they run pretty dang good. I got one stored in my boat just as a backup.

You can also check into some of the Powertech props for that HP class too. ptprops.com and C-class.

i have a powertech c class 4 blade on order but it will take a few weeks... will a foil help also? or will it hurt? what is a good foil for this motor?

[21XDC]

The foil wont help in turns, But it will make it worse. The Merc spitfire may be a good choice for the money

wall ......... I would NOT put a foil on that boat. The only guys I know running foils on duck boats are the guys racing them. Most of those guys lower their motors, drop their pitch, change their prop .... all in preparation for hunting season.

every one thank you.... no racing motor here so no foil needed then... i will just wait on the 4 blade power tech... just looking to run in shallow water and not blow out in the turns...
this help a lot guys

Trophy Sport, I promise you will love it. They dont make the 15 any more but you could get the 14 and have it pitched to a 15 with some cup added and it will give you alot of power all through the rpms.
