Best prop for 180
Looking for the best overall/ pushing prop for my 180 . Boat has a 5 blade razor x it's a snappy prop but I'm looking for better performance on the dry. Thanks for any advice

70'' Q
Re: Best prop for 180
Water Walker Cypress Series will give you more dry push. You'd maybe want a 70" though.
Call and talk to them, Plum will know the pros and cons of 68 or 70.
Won't go wrong either way, if you find a deal on one though.

Re: Best prop for 180
What size is your RazorX? Let me know if you wanna sell it. I run an older Powershift 68" Cypress on my 0360AV and it does pretty good.

Re: Best prop for 180
I know everyone has there opinion but I've ran 2 aluminum boats with water walkers & 1 with wt narrow,12ft old bear aluminum w 160 with 70in water walker,11.6 cottonmouth w 180 with a 70in whisper tip narrow,& now 11.6 diamondback with 160 with a 68in water walker,both water walker were cypress blades & imo the water walker was best all around for what I do which is hunt,fish & frog,thats just my experience

Re: Best prop for 180
I had a 0360 on 12ft bear hull had a 72" h when I bought it tried an older warp drive and then bought a 68" cypress you will lose speed on the water but if you want dry ground grunt cypress was the best on the hill by far

Re: Best prop for 180
Thanks for all the input. Sounds like the cypress is a good match for these 4 cyl. I believe my razor x is a 68in If anyone is interested thanks again!
