i have just purchased a 1800 tf.it has a 115 mariner. i would like what is the best all around prop. it came with a 22 quicksilver chopper prop. i got 49 mph on a small lake with it but it was terrible out of the hole. this prop has a very large diameter.it is almost as low as the bottom of the skeg. kinda scary. i've owned 5 or 6 boats up to 150 hp and this one is the worst out of the hole. my other boat is a 1991 arriva 1800 with a 150 merc with a laserII 21. it jumps out of the hole and will do 56 mph ,it weighs 2100 lbs. my 1800 tf weighs 1085 lbs. i hope i'm not asking too much to get my bass boat to come closer to the arriva's performance.the 1800 tf also came with a stock alloy prop,it planes good and will do 46 mph. all speeds measured with my lorance finder. also boat is in excellant condition. original owner took very good care of it and didn't use it that much. final info, the 150 prop has bigger hub,they will not interchange. this is a great site and have already gotten a lot of other info that i have passed on to some friends.i'm sure a few of you can help me out. thanks stan
