    Trophy to promax

    Transitioning from a 23 trophy to a promax prop. What pitch promax should I go with?

    Depends on your rpms now and what your motor can spin.

    I guess my question should have been is the promax a stiffer prop than a trophy. I have a homemade 20ft aluminum boat with a 2.5 200. I was looking for something with a little bow lift.

    Max rpm is 6200 in the winter and 5900 in summer.

    They run stiffer than a trophy. The lowest pitch offered is a 22.5. That is probably what you need. But a 23P may have more lift and run better.

    Without being a SA It's been my finding the Pro max run stiffer than trophy.

    It's been my experience the Promax likes to be really high . Like surfacing high . I ran it an inch higher than my Tempest would run and that's where it shined but that won't be the same on an aluminum hull. No telling what it do down in the water.
