I am running a Yamaha F115 Four Stroke on a Crestliner 1850 Fishhawk.
Am looking for suggestions on the right Stainless Steel prop to run with this setup. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have the same boat and motor. I am running 13 1/4 x 17 aluminum. Not enough bite, as WOT is around 6200 rpm. I'm looking to a 19 to lower rpm's. Like you I think about ss, but don't want to buy more than 1!

If WOT with a 17 aluminum is 6200, then a 21 stainless would be about 5500, or close to that.

Hey Waterwolf,

Try this off Yamaha's site. The 21" seems like a bit much, but they were spinning it up just fine. SS will drop a bit as you will be getting much better bite and less flex in the blades, therefore less slip. They had a real light load as well, with cool temps. Great motor though. You'd probably be right on the money with the 21" @5500, maybe a bit more.

Good fishin',
