received a new Solas prop 13 1/2" X 15 Now highest rpm is 4400 and top speed is 24mph This is exactly the same size as the original Yamaha. I lost 600 RPM and 6 MPH? Solas is sending me a 14" X 11 pitch. Will this get me in the right direction. I noticed the blade shape of the Aluminum Yamaha...

Sounds like I will buy the same as I had 13 1/2 x 15 for the replacement. Guess I just got lucky as that was what came with the motor.

Not really looking for more speed but better efficiency would a 15 1/4 X 17 allow higher RPM that the 15 1/2 X 15?

I just dinged my prop!! Need a replacement so thinking now is the time to get something better. I have a 2019 Yamaha 50 Old prop was 13 1/2 X 15K Aluminum Max rpm 5000 = 30 mph Any thoughts?

I use it in my plane. It really only lasts about 30 minutes and the ice turns to water. It works in the plane as I only need it while on the ground. Once I get airborne and a few thousand feet above, the air is naturally cooler and I turn it off. Usually put some drinks in it so when I land they...

For many years we had a 13 ft Whaler as a tender for our Grand Banks Trawler. I used a nylon bridle and tow line so it would absorb the shocks. Now towing with a Trawler is not the same a planing . I traveled displacement at 9 knots. We had a 40HP in the up position for towing and would play...

I have only owned boats that were made by manufacturers. My take on your question however. Since you are new to boating I think it would be hard for you to evaluate this custom boat. Even with a sea trial. Just 2 many unknowns for both how it handles conditions to how it was really made. You...

Being bored during Covid last winter I installed an electric winch on my trailer. Wanted a project and wanted to be able to control the boat at a launch by myself. I bought the winch and quickly discovered I needed an adapter plate as the original winch was much narrower. It was easy to install...

I did the Champlain Locks many years ago in a Grand Banks 36. I hung 2 normal sized fenders from the rail about 3ft apart and then used a 2 x 6 with a hole in either end, that was about 4 ft long as a fender board. Just laid it on the outside of the fenders and tied it off to the rail. I had 1...

I know they weigh the same. The 50 has more than enough power unless it is glass smooth I can't really open it up all the way. Boat cruises nicely at about 4800 RPM 25 knts.
