Can anyone recommend the best type of prop for an OSY400, we need to find a couple of extra seconds a lap. The specs of the boat are a Karla hull(190 pounds approx), and a Yamato 302. Boat and driver weight come to about 360 pounds. We need a prop that will accelarate out of the turns without losing to much on top end speed.

Please please please help!!

couple of questions.....

1) does the 360lb weight INCLUDE the motor?
2) if not and your weight is 360 plus 100lb (approx) for the 302, then acceleration is going to be a little lacking....... :confused:
