Boost-n-Juice Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I don't know much about boats but this is a Alpha One drive and it had a 19 on it. I'd like to see some more top end. It has an old 14 on it now and I lost about 5mph. It's a 20' Cuddy with a 170HP inboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I have a 14" x19 pitch aluminum prop. Pretty good shape, edge on one of the blades is slightly wavy (not nearly bad enough to be worth fixing, not chipped, balance seems fine). My boat's setup prefers a 17 pitch, so I'd rather be rid of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost-n-Juice Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 PM me a price and a #. That is what I had on it, 14" 19 pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost-n-Juice Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hey, this thing at best see's 40mph. Does that sound about right for the boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total Sign Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 What RPM does the engine pull at wide open, trimmed out? Ever think of going to a stainless? I have a 14x9 small ear stainless prop, works great on a light weight boat, can try before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost-n-Juice Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 The boat weighs 2500. The big bore 170 is good for 4500 rpms. I was seeing 4,200 rpms at 40mph with the 14" 19 pitch. I have a 14" 15 pitch on it now and I'm maxing the rpm's and only seeing 35mph. I'd like to stay with 14x19 or try a 14x17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
