    SS prop size

    Can someone recommend what size stainless steel prop would be the best “all around” size for a 2006, 17.5’ Targa with a 115 HP Optimax. I have looked at numerous charts with no definite answer. Looking for “what I have on my boat” recommendations. Thank you

    I think the answer is a 13 1/4 x 17 or 19. Now I would like to figure out what the difference is between a Michigan Hub, a Solas and a Laser II is besides the price.

    The difference is build quality. I would stick to Mercury personally.

    Use a Mercury four-blade Spitfire prop , 17-19 pitch should do it and don't forget the Flo-torq III hub kit,
