Howdy,
We have a Bayliner Capri 17 or 18' (it's 17.5" to be exact, so not sure if you round up or down) with a 90 HP Force.
Currently, it has a 13x19 prop...and it's absolutely horrible.
Boat runs good, idles good, etc...just doesn't like to go at all.
With just me in it(5'8" and 160 lbs), IF the speedo is correct, I could only get 15-17 mph.(We have no tach).
We were told we needed a different prop, so my question is this.
Would going down just 1 size to the 13x17 make a HUGE difference, or a little...or should I go down 2 sizes to the 15?
Just asking how much of a diff. each size makes, in people's opinions. Summer's almost over and the kids wanna do some tubing
Thanks in advance for any reply
