The bad side of props and prop boats is the trial and error Time. You won't know till you try it. Its like women once you find the one that fits it's all good. until then its money well spent. OR NOT. M

I've got a left over 11 1/2 x 15 , 1", LH Nibral prop. Kindsvater did it years ago. It's super-cupped and that supposedly added a little to the pitch I think. I have it left over from my 19.5 foot Miller Flattie. I can't remember how much over in the box I was, but I skied at 34 mph and 2100 rpm. A little sluggish out of the hole, but it always managed to pull my fat ass up. And there was normally 3-4 in the boat at all times.
I'm not using it. You can try it (free) to find out a base line for your boat if you want. Just give it back when you're done. At least you'd get a feel for what the boat wants. When you gonna need it?
Prop has a couple of nicks in it but nothing that caused any vibrations. Good prop. I used it for 10 years.
Thanks for the response to my thread about the Schiadas. Just wanna reciprocate the kindness.
lemme know.
