    Trophy Sport 13 pitch X 10.625". Max speed has been 35.2. Typically 34 to 35. Empty livewell. I use the livewell for storage. Tons of tackle though. All my local lakes have a speed limit of 35 mph or less so it works for me.

    Do yourself a favor and get a 13 pitch Trophy Sport prop for stainless steel. Or for aluminum a 14 pitch Spitfire
