Props

[Brandon__]

Are there any places around lexington that would let me test a prop before buying it? I cannot justify spending 400 dollars on guessing at pitch

Go to bassboatcentral.com and post your ride's info in the "props" forum. They can pretty much dial you in.

bassboatcentral is now bbcboards.net. Go to the props forum with your info such as what boat, horsepower motor & wide open throttle rpm & gps speed &they will get you dialed in. Mark Croxton the prop guru is one of the best there is period. He also has his own line of props called Razor & they have been outstanding. Ask him or 21 XDC(Mike Lohn), they'll take care of you.

Yeah like they said there really isn't that much guessing anymore. There are formulas out there that will tell you what prop is right for your boat. I was worried about the same thing when I bought my last prop but after some research I ordered one and it was perfect.

Brandon, What are you going to be putting it on? How much hp what length boat, Jack Plate, do you want stainless or aluminum? Do you want hole shot or top end speed? A Matrix works good to get you in the ball partk, but it depends on your size, Do you usually fish with a buddy, do you just go from spot to spot, do you take long rides, si your gas tank closer to full or closer to empty, or is it usually about half full. All of these will comtribute to your prop and boat performance and. An aluminum blade flexes more than a stainless and usually requires 1 degree more pitch to get the same type of top end. pm me or give me a call. depending on what motor you have, I may have one you can borrow to see how it performs, this will help you make a good decision. Besides... We need to fish "E" again....
