I have a 17pitch three blade stainless steel prop on my O'l Yeller and if I have more than four people on board it feels like I’m taking off in third gear. It takes forever to plane out. The mechanic working on her told me I should go to a three blade aluminum 15pitch. I just dropped $500.00 pulling my 5.7 out to repair an oil pan gasket leak!!!!! Ouch! He said he can get me one installed for another $95.00. Is this a good deal? Any thoughts?
