What can I expect?

Just got a new prop in. I am changing from a rapture 13 1/4 x 17 pitch to a powertech 13 x 15 pitch. I was turning 5250rpms at 39mph with the rapture and had very little holeshot. I am sure my top speed will be down some, but was curios what you guys thought. The boat is a Sea Pro sv1900 with a 115 4-stroke yamaha. BTW, I live in Tifton,GA. Does anyone know where I can go pickup a thrust washer? the old washer was built onto the hub of the old prop, leaving me without one. Thanks

Which PowerTech did you buy. They make hundreds of different props.

I'm assuming you talked to PowerTech before you bought the prop. They know the prop business very well, and would make a solid recommendation.

No, I boat this from dans discount props. I bought this off his recommedation though.

Can't tell ya on the prop but Flanders is dead on about Recreational Outlet. Josh is a great guy and beats driving all the way to Tally or Perry.
He did my check up & installed my Talon this year.

I would try and wiggle that thrust washer with a pair of pliers, unless you are certain it is connected. They are not usually built on.

Yeah, its kinda strange how its made. I went ahead and picked up a new one yesterday. Not sure if its called a thrust washer or spacer. Its the one that is splined. The store only had one for a Mercury, but it lined up and installed fine on my Yammie

Looks like a 15 pitch is a little high on the rpms. Rev limiter kickin in. I called PT props and the were very helpful. They reccomended a 17x13 semi-cleave prop.

Just gonna post the results. The 17 is perfect. 6k at 38.4mph. Great holeshot too.
