    I just put my new prop on. I got it from RBPROPS.COM (http://www.rbprops.com/) . 11.5x15 river racer it works great it was $450.00!! It’s like a whole new boat. I had a Stelling 11 1/4-16 prop on before and could not get it to work / set. Your prop would work great on a big cruser. And is worth some $$$. I have been using 22 gears and have a new set of 29 I’m going to put in it soon. I think you will need some more gear. If you go to less pitch.

    You have that right. After you told me to call Ron I had already talked to all of the other prop makers and he was the most stand up guy. I stopped by his house, he let me check out the toys and had my prop re-worked in about 2 days. I will be going back to him for a new one next year and maybe a new V-Drive unit.

    I'd start with an 11X16 and keep those 12's in it. The thing will leave like a monster!! Ya might want some 15's close by if you feel you need them. But short gears are what gets you out front!

    I was thinking the prop, but you can bring the boat too.
