anyone got a 13.5" diameter 16" pitch standard yammy propellor

I'm looking for props to do some prop tests -

I would also try a 13" pitch torquemaster 4 blade solas prop, especially if it has been cupped

needs to fit a 130 HP Yammy saltwater series motor

I've got a 17k yammy prop, and a cupped 15 solas 4 blade - both are too much

its a heavy 5.3 Dale boat that been made a lot heavier by me putting lots of stuff on it, and its a very deep V which uses a lot of power and the boat likes to fall off the plane in rough weather when trying to do 15 to 18 knots

I am thinking that about a 16 p 3 blade would be about right, or a cupped 13 4 blade

the boat could really do with a 150 or 175 on it, but I'm not going to buy another motor because I have my sights set on a bigger boat for the future so I would never recover the costs of putting on a 4 stroke.

Can't help you with props, i've got a 17k yammy aswell, but the cheapest alternative would definately be getting your current 17 repitched. About a $100

I don't mind buying another prop, and i would prefer the larger diameter that the 16p yammy has compared to the smaller 17k diameter

problem is that none of the yammy dealers seem to have one in stock that i could test.

i have tried solas, but all their prop pitches are either side of where i want to be.

yammy also used to do only a 15p and a 17p, but with the newer 4 strokes have brought out this 16p which nobody else seems to do aftermarket
