 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?

Re: 25 GTR Prop problem? 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

Re: 25 GTR Prop problem? I find that props run a little better with a few hours on them, but not 2 to 3 mph better.

Re: 25 GTR Prop problem? 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?

Re: 25 GTR Prop problem? 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.
