prop question

[22billyzx]

I`m still trying to decide on a spare prop....my 22 zx currently has a 24 4 blade bravo,but i feel i can get a little more out of it. Just dont want to spend 4-5 hundred bucks to find out it didnt do much. The boat currently runs 62 @4800 wot. Would a 24 3 blade (maybe a cleaver) do the trick,or would it spin a 25? I know there is a fine line here with what a prop will do,but i feel the boat should do 65 with a different prop. I was hoping to find a good used one for a spare,so any thoughts from you`s guys would be greatly appreciated!

I've got an extra 25, if that will work i'll sell it cheap.. it's in cumberland so if your comiong to the aoth your more than welcome to try it

You should also try a 24 3 blade to try to get a few more RPM's, a 3 blade should also give you a little more bow lift.

That hull likes a 4 blade. A three blade could work but your hole shot which is bad anyway will suffer.

Randy knows a heck of a lot more about different hulls, change my answer to a 23" 4 blade that should get you to about 5000. I think a 25 will kill your hole shot and scrub some speed.

I think i`m starting to get a grasp on what i need. A friend of mine is running a 24 3 blade cleaver prop on his baja. Different hull for sure...his hole shot is great,but hopefully i can try it this summer. I am going to keep my eye open for a 23 4 blade,as i dont want to make my hole shot any worse. Thanks guys!
