    265 Express props

    Skunk exactly, I want her set up for 250 gallons, 300lbs of ice 4 dudes and all the fishing gear. The sand bar will be a walk in the park,and yes I do not use tabs when testing props.

    265 Express Props

    So with the OEM 3 blade 15.5 x 17 I am at 6000 RPMS WOT @ 44MPH. So I am no prop expert but thinking going with a 4 blade OSF4 15.25 x 17 might be the ticket? Extra blade and .25 less OD puts me in the same ballpark? I am not looking for speed or hole shot just more bite to stay on plane at low...

    My new to me 2004 265 Express

    Yea I think grady took the advice on the issues. From what I read and hear from people that the newer 03 04 05 s, are a bit better. What speed you like to run in the chop? 90% of all my running will be in the ocean off Ocean City MD.
