Hi all from Croatia!
I have an 75 e-tec for two years now and I am very pleased with it. People ask me just to fire the engine an let them hear how quiet it is! They just cant't belive it is a two stroke.
It is mounted on 4.85 m (16ft) RIB . Initialy with the original prop (13 3/4 x 15) it hit the 5500 rpm so I bought 14x17 (no try befor you buy here) and rpm's dropped to 5200 with speed of 32.5 knots.
I have just read another post here (75 e-tec 4 months report) with the sugestion for an 19 inch prop and the optimal revs 4500-5000.
Could someone suggest an 19 inch prop for me please.
Btw. I am very sad to inform the BRP guys that here in Croatia we have to pay around 65$ for a galon of XD50 oil (through regular BRP service network) so I don't even consider switching to XD100.
Best regards and thanks in advance!
Mladen
