Post 25 GTR Prop problem?
So I received a new prop from Gator-tail this week for my 25, but when I ran it today it seems that any more trim up with RPMs past 3450, I was loosing speed. My normal RPMs are 3700-3800. I also lost 2-3 mph compared even my worn down prop. Any thoughts?

No its not polished. The first one that come with the boat was polished, with my new original one it would do best @ 3700 rpms

I find that props run a little better with a few hours on them, but not 2 to 3 mph better.

Mine seem to have a "Sweet Spot" after a little wear, but it don't last long.

Cajun you ever get this sorted out? I'm gonna order a new prop in the upcoming weeks. Just curious what was up with your speed loss. Did they send you a 35 by mistake? What was the OD for a new 25 prop?

sorry haven't been here in a while. I think it just needed a little time on the water. I thought I was loosing speed, compared to my original prop, but I had more weight in the boat. Yesterday I have the boat loaded down with 700- 800lbs and still did 16-17mph. I was satisfied with that.
