Hello All!
Hello All,
I'm new to the forum, my father and I just purchased a 1990 Checkmate 17.5ft Sportfire Runabout. It has a 1996 135hp Mercury outboard engine.
We are both avid water skiers and barefooters, plus I also wakeboard. Needless to say, we are water sports people.
We live in/around Milwaukee, WI, so we have no shortage of lakes and rivers from which we can drop out new Checkmate in, aside from the fact that they are all frozen 8 months out of the year!
I'm happy to be apart of the group and conversation.
I did have a question about which prop I should get for the Checkmate when we are more interesting in pulling more weight behind the boat with water skiers, barefooters, and wakeboarders.
My current prop is a High Five 5-blade, #48-81576-21, 13.25" diameter x 21" pitch.
We aren't as concerned about speed as we really only need to go at most about 40mph for any of those activities, and I wanted to ask the forum what everyone things the best kind of prop I should get. But maybe I should save this question for another thread/forum/blog/whatever.
Thank you!
