Crestliner 17c with Merc 60

[iwannagofast1]

i just purchased this boat and it has a 4 blade aluminum prop. What is everybody running that has this set up? Looking to go stainless..

What pitch is your current prop and how many rpms are you turning at wot? I have a Crestliner vt17 with 75 Merc 4 stroke. It has a modified computer in it so more than 75 horse. I run a 19 pitch Mercury Spitfire x7. I would think a 15 pitch ss spitfire x7 would be close. This prop is also a 4 blade.

Unless it's a bigfoot lower a spitfire won't fit.

Trophy Sport 14P is what I ran on my 175TXW with Merc 60

I have a 60 hp Evinrude from 1996. I thought about going SS prop and my marine dealer talked me out of it. He said prop shaft on 60 hp could not take the shock from a SS prop slamming into something like a rock or log. He said better to wreck an aluminum prop than the prop shaft.
