Does anyone know woy sort of prop i should be thinking of running? my set up is as follows:
phantom 21 , xr2 , 6"set back jack plate , bow tank and its a tandem so not much weight! its not gonna be used for skiing mostly for racing and the occasional brighton run! The engine used to be ran on little petes marshan 21 and used to spin a lazer 23" tempest if that helps?

Solas Scorpian mate. I had a Laser 2 21p before and then went for the Scorpian 23p and found it to be extremely 'grippy' and improved my handling no end.

it was a 24" but been thinned and worked down to a 22.75" ran really well but bought a ET lightening so dont need it anymore £200 and its yours, spent more than that getting it right, not including buying the prop in first place

that laser II is a nice prop and went really well on Burty's sharp and my P20. Very well behaved and user freindly!!!

wot did you use to run that on burty? 2.5 or xr2? wot sort of revs and speed were you pulling?

Burty · 31-05-2005, 10:24 PM

my old boat, 2.4 200hp pushed my sharp to 73mph at 6800 rpm felt really good and quite forgiving
turned to 7300 on my P20 with 2.5 now i got 800 wuids worth of ET i dont need it any more
