Okay, which prop size is the best for 2003 180 with 4.3 and SX outdrive? Also, what online sites have the best prices?

Define the best prop in your opinion? Are you looking to get on plane faster, higher top end, pull a skier, etc....this is a multifaceted question.

For online boat stuff, I am a big fan of discountmarinesupplies.com as they have a good selection, flat rate shipping (and its pretty fast), and good prices. I recently bought some 1/2" x 20' double braided dock lines for $15.00/ea...cant beat it and its quality rope.

I'm using a piranha prop on our FS 214 boat with a 5.0 GSI/SX. Here's there site: piranhapropellers.com

Im pretty sure the prop that came on the boat from OEM is probably the best "overall" prop. Assuming you're looking for decent performance out of the hole, top speed, and pulling a tube or skier.....Key word "decent". As already stated, people use all different combinations depending on how they plan to use the boat.

I wish someone would engineer a boat prop similar to that of a variable pitch airplane prop. How cool would that be!!! Having the ability to adjust the pitch of the prop as you go, never needing to change props and all that crap. Who knows, they may already have something like that. If they did, surly it would be expensive.

Best prop to pull tuber and plane faster. What size, model, make etc...? Thanks.

4 blade prop will be best for your needs.
Search for correct size online to find the best price at the best place.

They have done it, and it is expensive. No worries, it's not available for smaller boats. This design has been out for a few years, and the word within the industry is that it is not as good as claimed. Sales are slow, and Veem may drop the Interceptor from their line shortly.

No kidding?? Wow. Its a neat concept, but as some idea's do, they fail as a result of the cost. Cap'n Morgan, you're like a version of google, you know a ton about a ton....hahaha. Its nice having you on the forum!!



Cheers, and happy 4th to you. Small storm heading your way if its not on top of you already.
