A good all-around prop for a '00 Launch
Just got my boat out last weekend and it seemed a little sluggish to me. I had bought it a couple months ago and had it at the shop for an engine service and a few small issues. I have the 310 hp Indmar engine. I have an OJ 13 x 12 3-blade, pretty sure it is left hand looking at the shape of the prop. It matches the OJ website list for Supra boats, I assume it was the original stock prop. From my past boating experience, I know smaller pitch props give you better hole shot and more power. Is it possible this prop is just too small for this size boat? Is a 4 blade prop better for all around use? I have about 2 inches of clearance now between the prop, hull, rudder and trailer. So I assume there is room to get a little bigger prop.
This is going to be mostly a family boat doing everything from tubing, skiing, wakeboarding, etc.
This is my first inboard boat to own so I still have a lot to learn. Thanks for any suggestions.
