Best SS Prop for 176 XT w/70 HP Yamaha 2 Stroke

[SteveTSC]

New to BBC, and am here by referrel of a good friend who frequents this site. I just purchased a used 2007 176 XT with a Yamaha 70 2 stroke on it. I want to replace the 13x19 aluminum prop with a SS prop and would like to know if any of you have recommendations of specific manufacturer - dia/pitch configuration for the 176 XT.

I'm looking for good overall performance. I am very pleased with the hole shot and top end of the aluminum prop, but am open to any input from you guys who have already gone down this path. I'll only be fishing from the rig...no tubing, skiing, etc.

Right now with the aluminum prop I'm running about 36 mph by gps at around 5800 rpm. Full tank of gas, 2 people, and fishing tackle. I didn't trim up any higher because I didn't want to blow the prop out and over rev the motor.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Thanks for finding that post teambranham, I must have missed it when I was searching through the old posts. Would it be safe to assume the references are staying with a 13" diameter?
