    Exclamation Best prop for 175


    Well just been playing around with all my props. Since I finished the rebuild on the boat. And this 13p Trophy Sport is still the best prop. For a 175 with the 60 hp.

    Love the four blades on the tin hulls. When you say best, are you saying over all performance, top speed, holeshot, or handling. My four blade SpitfireX7 is a great overall performer but not fastest on top end. Just wondering how a X7 would work on a 60 horse. Nice job on the overhaul by the way, really looks great.

    Thank you sir, and yes over all around. It does everything better in all categories, except top speed. It a whopping 1 mph slower but I can over look that.
