|
|
I am a new C-Dory owner and a long way from salt water. Once I bring my boat home to Alberta next spring I plan to use it mostly on the high altitude lakes here in the Rockies until I retire on Vancouver Island in a few years. My understanding is that a prop that works well at sea level in salt water does not work as well in fresh water at altitude. Our mountain lakes are situated between 5000 and 6000 feet above sea level. I would like to get some opinions on what might be the best prop for this situation and would this same prop be good for the lower elevation lakes with an altitude of 2000 to 3000 feet?
I have 22 Cruiser with a 90 HP Honda. _________________ Peter & Judy Haase
