cupped, three blade, stainless for this area if you don't run agroung a lot. Call Cape Horn and ask what size for your boat and engine...

| The three blade Salt Water Series by Yamaha gave me the best performance as far as hole shot, and top end which translates to less fuel burned at a cruise. I ran a 21 Cape Horn for years.

Call the prop shop in Pensacola, and tell them what you've got and want to do. They'll hook you up.

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.
You catch some, you lose some but the beer will never say no or try to run away.

| second the vote of confidence on accu prop. the outboard guys name i believe is Dan. they are very easy to deal with and very straight with you. They have stood behind there work with me also. every boat is different with power,gear, and hull combos(t-top, railing, coolers or storage items, ect). how you use it also makes a difference. by all means do all the research you can before you buy, but i can tell you that accu prop will take care of you. when you talk to the prop places who ever you choose tell them how the boat is normally used and you will need to know your max rpm with the throttle all the way down and trimmed correctly so they can determine the correct or closely get the right pitch. also don't be scared if they sell you a prop that is bigger in diamiter. dont know on yamaha but on the merc they proped for me they convenced me on a prop that was alot bigger in diamiter and changed the pitch on me from what i had before. It performed great and fuel economy went up greatly from the lack of prop slip and lift it gave the boat. It may be cheaper to shop on the Internet but you will be happier if you let the shop help you. good luck.
