RE: Advice on prop size and brand.
I have a 18' CC Ranger, Had big problems trying to get out of the hole. It would push for about 1-2 minutes before planning. First I took the prop to Prop-Shop, Then after a few days of procrastinating, I took the prop to Acu-Prop here in P'cola. Great guys, very through and they have a computer to ensure you have the right pitch setup. I had a ss 21" pitch, I down sized to a 17 out of the box. It produced great from the hole but not on the top end at all. I took it back and they bumped me to a 19 and cupped the prop. Now she flies across the water and great out of the hole. These guys know thier stuff. I think his name is Brian. Very knowlagable(sp) and friendly. He said that if if still didn't work bring it back. He didn't charge for extra service and I didn't have to wait a few days like a I did at Prop-Shop. Highly reccomended. Not saying that Prop-Shop is bad, this was just the experience I had with them.
