    You should be able to spin a 26 Raker II Pretty good or a 25 Tempest plus. Both are good props. The Raker will turn very close to the same rpm, you are getting with the gade the Tempest will be just a bit higher in the rpms but not much. Your hole shot will not be as good but top end will pick up 2-3 mph. Not much gain for the dollar spent IMO.

    Good luck

    yeah kinda what i am thinking..... the 26 raker II would that be a 3 blade prop?? so raker props would bolt right on to my boat?

    I see no where that says your current rpms or mph.... I personally don't think your motor will turn a 26 pitch anything efficently and with speed....

    Yep the raker is a three blade prop you will have to change your thrust washer. The old style raker's blades are "stiffer" than the raker 2.

    24 or 26 Raker, one should run better than the 4 blade you have.

    My boat runs well with a tempest. You might also want to consider trying a trophy too.

    If your only turning 5600 with a 25 4 blade, you probablywon't spin that 26 raker 5300 or so.... I would hunt for a 24raker or a 25 tempest... easier to make the progression bigger at the prop shop than take it away...

    Send to Mark C for b and b with perf specs-hull if you want to avoid buying another prop...
