We are pulling it tomorrow for the season as it looks like weather change is coming Wednesday, snow levels at 8000 ft. So Big Block, I'm looking at the OG invoice for the boat and I believe it is a 1.78 ratio?? I was thinking a F4 or F3, what's the downside if I just buy the F3 and put that on? (besides wasting $1500) That would be really neat if they just send a couple to try, wouldn't be till May however...
Call bblades.Com buy from him if they don't work you can send them back for a exchange. Your going to want F3 I think. F4 will give you about
4600 rpm maybe. F3 might get you 5000.
He also can answer any questions. He used to work for mercury marine and he builds props for people all over the world. Great guy. He did mine. Or send him yours and he could probably tweak them to where you need to be.

We are in the Keys but like I said earlier, we just pulled our boat for the winter. I have a Mercruiser and normally has a 24" prop set for sea level but has a 20" set on there now. It's a little under propped so am buying a set of 21" props for next season. Props are hard to come by so getting a set, even for a spare, is good to do during the offseason. My rear prop has a 3 month lead time right now so keep that in consideration.
