Bent the stock aluminum prop on my 258 VISTA . Looking for prop recommendations . I was basically satisfied with the stock prop performance but hey , this is a chance to maybe improve on it . I have a 5.7 GSI 280HP with a single prop SX out drive . My maximum RPM's @ WOT is in the 4600 to 5000 range . Four blade aluminum , 3 blade stainless , 4 blade stainless ? What would you do ? Thanks
