    Anybody around allow test drives with prop before you buy? Just curious I am from North central Iowa and would like to test drive the prop to see top end before purchasing and don’t know if anybody offers that anymore. Please advise if you know of anyone. Thanks!

    Tuffy 2060 w/Merc 225 hp motor. Currently have a 23 pitch and am only getting 5200 rpms out of it. Thoughts? Just want to know it works before forking out the change. Thanks!

    guessing its a opti-max, that being said you could drop it to a 21 and you should be in your sweet spot, typically 250 rpm per degree of pitch, so you should be around 5700, now if your boat is fully loading runnnig 5200, and bump it down to a 21 you might be over revving it empty
