    Prop for 06 Optimax 115

    I have a 06 Optimax 115 on a 06 Stratos 275. I brought this boat used about a year ago. The engine has the factory prop. I am not getting up on plane in the warmer temperatures. What would be a good prop for this boat?

    Thanks

    I had the same issue when I repowered a Nitro NX750 (17.5') with a 115 ProXS. I tried a Trophy Plus and a Laser II with cup added in multiple pitches including ones that easily hit the limiter. The Trophy was better but still sucked. The motor just does not have the bottom end grunt it needs IMO. I sold the boat before I tried one but my next one was going to be a Spitfire X7. Powertech makes many SS props for small diameter cases that are supposed to work well. I could never get a hold of them to get a recommendation on what to try.
