1986 Sundancer 250 w/ Merc 260. Had a 14.75x17 3 blade prop when we bought it. Could only get 34.5MPH with a max of about 3800RPM. Bought a Solas Amita 3 E-Plus 15.8x15. Today with 2 adults and a 4 year old, full fuel (75 gallons) and about 15 gallons in the fresh water tank. No tabs and drive almost all the way down I hit 37.5MPH at 4600RPM. Hitting the upper end of my max RPM but pretty close now. Engine/driveline feels much smoother now too. Noticed a little bend in a fin on my old prop the other day so that probably explains the much smoother feel now?
