    Very nice looking boat man, i just picked up a 95 253 Convincor the other week with the 7.4 L (non-mag). With 3 people and full tank of gas i saw 55GPS with a 21P prop. Looking at getting a different prop maybe in the near future and over winter doing a mild build to the motor. I am going to...

    253 Convincor PROP HELP PLEASE!!!

    Yea i've also been reading up on 4 blades and it looks like those are the ticket to helping the hole shot and not losing much on top end either.

    New guy from NC!!!

    Sounds good man, yea the only other boat i've had was a 21 foot little outboard custom sport boat with a 2.5 merc....it would fly! But it was very unstable and only weighed about 2k lbs. I will def. mess with the trim and see what i can do, this boat feels very stable so i don't think it will...

    New guy from NC!!!

Not sure about the pitch of the prop but will check this weekend. Just wanted to know if anybody has any rec's for a good prop that may pick up a few MPH up...
