    Factory 23p yamaha 3 blade or upgrade to tempest plus

    2005 Stratos 486sf with Yamaha 150 Vmax

    18.6' Fish and ski. Prop Shaft snapped at the weld so I get a new prop shaft and get to re prop. Had a factory 23 pitch yamaha prop on it and did fine. Is a tempest plus that much better than factory or maybe a trophy four blade (does trophy need pitch up or down)? Also found a stilletto 23P 3 blade, opinions?

    I was okay with factory as it ran in the mid 50's and I just fish and pull kids on a tube and I'm not a speed demon.

    Just looking for advice since I get to start over.

    If the prop was a 23 M it's just about the same as a 23 tempest but the tempest plus has a flo torq II hub in it and not a rubber hub.

    I used to have a 18.5' skeeter fish and ski for a while with a 150 vmax, for all around general running I liked a 24 trophy the best.

    It was faster and had just as good of a holeshot as the 23 yammi that came on it.

    Not exactyl the same boat but similar. Might try one
