Fatih, nice looking boat. Here at least, under powered boats really take a hit at resale/trade-in time. I would always go with the manufacturer's recommended HP.

And I thought a boat was a hole in the water to throw your money into. smile I would never suggest you have an 18' boat with less than a 120 motor. You can also change the prop out for a different pitch prop to adjust the hole shot (getting the boat to plane out). Make the deal with the dealer where he will let u see how the boat performs with different props. And I also agree with a stainless prop.

This is the prop we settled on. The holes behind the blade acted like a stall converter in a race car. It would let the RPMs flash to about 2000 right out of the hole then as the exhaust was pulled out the center it would stop the air from coming out. The air running on the back side of the prop let it basically create cavitation and let the RPMs flash.

This works great to pulling skiers and getting an over loaded boat up on plane really quick.

Lifting the motor is a must after install. Because the prop ties the rear of the boat down to the water so well you can then lift the motor on the transom so the top of the prop is level with the bottom of the boat on dry land. With the prop only in the water 6-8"s finding a rock is hard to do but can be done.

Woops !! I ment to say a 120 for that type of boat. I have a 21 footer river boat with a Yamaha 20 but it is a slim river boat built for shallow waters with currents. And Dono is correct, the prop makes a lot of difference in how a boat performs out of the hole or at top end. Dealers most likely will trade out new props on new boats

I see what you saying guys. And thanks for helping me. Dono , thanks for the effort man.

I just sent an email to my dealer to ask what kind of prop i will get, and i am getting an aluminum one.

So steel and aluminum have their ups and downs.

So Dono, that particular prop you showed. It gets you to planning faster. But what is the downside of that prop? There must be one.

To be honest , if i can afford a 100 HP , this is gonna be more than expensive for me smile . I can't go for an alternative prop just yet.

I wasted most of my money coming from the apartment sale on junk stuff laugh .





Phil, what would happen next, if i called you? Things would get ugly. I guess everybody fishing around that area had their flies twisted the night before. As everyone else was catching a lot laugh .

I seem to remember him saying that too... However, if I recall correctly, everytime the guide needed another fly he only had to go as far my jacket. smile
