Sorry no video this time but we have made the decision to go with the 14.8 X 17 stainless viper prop.  Dave at Lockemans, our Evinrude dealer, originally put a 14.75 X 17 alu prop.  With this prop we got 43 mph at 5100 RPMs.  Trying to acheive 5500 to 5800 Rs lockmans raised the motor 3/4 of an inch there was some improvement but not the 5500+ Rs.  Lockemans then let us use a new 15 X15 alu and a 14.8 X 17 stainless viper.  The 15 X 15 gave us more Rs 5300 but was slower.  We then tried the Stainless.  I have never gone 46 MPH in any boat but in my V20 its awesome.  Rs were around 5300 at 70% trim.  I was riding on the back bench seat when Dan shut her down quickly.  I slid off the seat and the seat followed over on top of me laughing loudly.  If I had a video of this I'd gladly share it with you.  Stainless it is!  We'll have a little bling at the ramp.  Billy Mac  ;D ;D
 
hi billy I was running a 14.3/4 19 at first then switched to a 14.3/4 18 and Iam not 100 % sure its the rite prop for me Iam doing about 46 mph also at about 5100 to 5200 rpms being we have the same excact hull I think i mite buy a 14.8 x17 and give it a try. is that a stock prop and did u have to order it ??? and where did u buy it.
 
The prop we used is a demo 14.8 X 17. I believe it is a stock item. We will purchase it at Lockemans our evinrude dealer. Did you get a rebate letter from BRP for prop purchases? Billy Mac ;D
