some pictures of boat and prop question

[bluiesgrady]

Hello fellow Grady owners

I just purchased a new DSLR and wanted to take some shots with it.

One was edited by doing HDRI.

Hope you guys enjoy! Any feedback would be great.

Anyway back to the prop question.
My black steel props (14.25 x 17) are fading and it looks like I can use a new set.
Have anyone with the f150s upgraded their props from the factory black ones?

I'm looking for an all around prop ideal for offshore fishing. Speed is a plus. Though, I am not sure if having a better hole shot is better than top end speed.

I am new to the propeller thing, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Tony

Went from the standard 13.75"x17" black SS props to a pair of 15.25"x16" PowerTech OS series.

Lost a little top end, gained a little hole shot (not important) and gained a LOT more "bite" on the water in sloppy conditions. Better at punching through a head sea, or in a big following/quartering sea.

The black props you refer to don't need to be replace just because the paint is wearing off. They are stainlees steel. I sent mine to Murphy's Propeller in Norfolk VA and they removed the paint, balanced, trued and polished them for about $65 each. Call them for a price to be sure. They also stamped my last name on the outside of the main cone. It took abot a week for the turn around.
BTW -- NICE BOAT!
