Prop Replacement

[vintony]

What is the best replacement for the 4-blade stainless on my 2002 22i? I have replaced with a nibral, 3-blade, 13x11.5, but not sure if I like it. With 4 kids and 2 adults in the boat it seemed a bit sluggish. WOT at 36mph, revving at 4600rpm's.

Any thoughts or suggestions

Sluggish as in out of the hole or on top end? That 11.5 is about the hardest pulling out of the hole you are going to find off the shelf with top speed as the trade off. I am not sure that the speed you are getting is that accurate if you are going off of the speedo only. I would verify it with a gps and I would bet that it is off by about 5 mph. Something does not seem right with your rpm and speeds if you ask me!
I have a spare 13 x 13 stainless three blade if you are looking for more speed, I would even be willing to make a straight trade if you want to try it.
Let me know,
Ray
