Ok guys, second year with this boat and I'm tired of getting harassed at the ramp for my stock aluminum white prop😳.....I have a 115 SHO and need to know what you guys are running on it in terms of a stainless steel prop and what kind of top end I can expect from it.
Powertech NRS3 18p. Top speed 47 mph. Excellent holeshot.

It seems to me that most people are getting good results with the Laser II prop - 20P. Your motor will do a little more than my Yamaha 115 LA. Your motor is also rated for more RPMs than mine. I think those factors would still make the Laser II 20P a good selection. I have been running mine for about 3 years and I am happy with it. A lot of RT188 (I would say MOST) 188 people are running the Laser II 20P with the 115 motors and that is the prop I would buy.

Run the same engine (115 SHO)....Never ran another prop so can't compare it to anything else but I have to agree with Panama....a year ago I took his advise and many others in this forum and picked up the Laser II 20P and had a little cup added by Mark Croxton of Mark's High Performance Propellers out of Shelbyville, IN. Croxton was in full agreement with this selection as well! Great hole shot. Best top end I've hit is 48mph.
Thanks guys, I appreciate all the input!!!
