    Hey guys. I am running a 2003 Crestliner 1750 FH with a 115 Yamaha 4 stroke. It runs well but is a little “spongy” out of the hole and in hard corners slides out a little too much for me.
    James drove my boat and suggested a Yammy SS prop( I run a 13″X19 pitch) but my dealer wants over 400$ for one.
    Any other suggestions or maybe somewhere where Yammy SS props are less than 429$

    Ask your dealer if he has one that you can try out.

    Tom,

    I have the same boat. I’m not impressed with the 13.5 x 17 that came with mine. I’m not going to step up to the stainless yet, but would love to hear the results before/after when you make the purchase.

    Thanks!!

    I upped to the 13X19 and got the top end up to 45@6000 rpms but as mentioned the aluminums have some short comings.

    Tom I tried my new 13 1/4 X 19 Ballistic ss prop and it increased my speed by 4 mph and a great hole shot to get ontop the water quicker.
    FEAR NO FISH!!!
