Thank you all for the helpful advice & feedback. I must say a lot of info to digest.
Since the F70 is a higher RPM motor, smaller diameter prop? To maximize speed, higher pitch?
Again Currently, running Yamaha 3 blade aluminum 13 5/8 x 14"
Sounds like I have potential to really increase my performance & speed vs. what I am currently running. That said, I want to do my homework to get this right.
I'm still not sure what stainless size & pitch to aim for, for my hull & outboard, and for my applications (from my previous posts).
Here is everything I have heard:
Brands:
Yamaha Performance Series
Yamaha Painted Stainless (YPS)
Power Tech SCD3
Turbo Quest
Stiletto Advantage
Diameter & Pitch:
- 13-1/4" x 14"
- 13.25 x 15"
- 13.25" x 13"
- 13.5" x 16"
- 13" X 17"
By the way
