What I would like is for people to list in a consistent format the: boat, make model, drive, engine, prop, speed, overall performance review. This information is scattered on here and I feel that a combined area with this information would be golden. If we coulus stick to this format for consistency I think it would be useful to many.

Boat specs
Make:
Model:
Length:
Drive:

WOT speed:
Prop make & model:

Boat specs
Make: Chaparral
Model: 215 SSi
Length: 21ft
Drive: Alpha 1 gen 2
Engine: 5.0 carb 220hp
WOT speed: 47mph
Prop make & model: Mercury Vensura
Prop dimensions: 14x19

Brief review:
The factory 3 bladed aluminum 14.5x19 was giving me 44mph and struggling to put 5 adults on plane, it took WOT and people moving up front. Cruising speed of around 25mph. With the Vensura with medium sized PVS has no issue putting 7 full sized adults on plane with 3/4 throttle with no weight shifting. Much better fuel consumption and better cruising speed. Crusing speed at same RPM (3000) is around 29mph.

To compare to a Four Winns boat, this boat is equal to a mid 2000's Sundowner 225.

Boat specs
Make: Four Winns
Model: Horizon RS
Length: 18ft
Drive: SX Drive 1.6 Ratio
Engine: 4 BBL Carb 5.7 GL
WOT speed: 55MPH (GPS) @ 4500RPM
Prop make & model: SS Solas HR Titan 4
Prop dimensions: 14X21P

Brief review: Comparing to the OEM 14.25 X 21P prop (perfect condition) the HR Titan allowed the Horizon to plane at 400RPM lower, plane easier with a passenger load (stern lift) and no loss of top speed.
Interesting that the HR Titan got me an additional 4MPH when compared to a brand new Solas Amita 4, 14X21P at the same RPM.

Boat specs:
Make: Four Winns
Model: 2000 Horizon 240 (1996-1999 style)
Length: 24'
Drive: Volvo Penta SX
Engine: 5.7 GS (250 HP)
WOT speed: 46mph
Prop make & model: Michigan 3 blade SST, circa 1994
Prop dimensions: 14.25 x 19p

Brief review:
Good all purpose prop. This shows the longevity advantage of a SST prop... Been in service for 21 years on two different boats (it was re-hubbed from OMC to Volvo 3 years ago). It has plowed through floating debris, sand bars, and still looks and performs like new.
