Post Looking for the best prop
I’ve got a GTR 37 XD that I may have sent a little too hard in shallow water. Used to run my boat 28-30 at about 4400-4500 rpms and sling a good rooster tail. Now it wants to run 4650-4800 and won’t go but about 25 or so even though it still takes me where i wanna go. But I’ve been thinking of buying a new prop and can’t decide which way to go. Usually won’t have too heavy of a load during the summer but looking for a good speed too. I’ve got an original GTR 3 blade right now.

I measured the diameter last night and it was only 9” and that seemed a little small to me. The numbers i could see on the prop are CA55-11 but i couldn’t find anything only about those numbers.

Yeah I would say that is worn down a bit. Most new props are 12 + inch diameter(For 35 or 37). IMO get your 3 blade reworked but also buy another new one. (Hill Marine 12x10 $209.00-cheap spare) or better yet get a big blade or a hammer.

But a lost of speed and increased rpms would make me think a different prop would be the first thing to try!

what's the deal with those RonHill Props? His name rarely comes up. Only really hear BPS props and worked by baggy and courville...

I don't know I run one, 12x12, does good. I haven't run it in mud much but in the veggies and stumps it does the job, run 28-30 mph with 2 and hunt load.

I agree with cypresscritter. Get you a hammer. The GTR 2 blade does very well too according to baggy in Houma.
