It’s been a while since I’ve authored a “propped for performance” article. When the Fisherman’s Managing Editor Matt Broderick reached out to me in October of last year about helping him tweak maximum performance out of his legacy trailerable back bay sportfisher, a 1981 Sea Ox 1700 skiff, I jumped at the chance to dive into one of my favorite subjects. Running the right boat/motor combination with a propeller that allows it to achieve max recommended RPMs is usually a dream to drive. Equip this dream boat with the wrong prop and it quickly turns into a nightmarish experience. Let’s take a deeper dive into this nautical science project to see how things worked out and how you might be able to benefit by understanding this step-by-step process and applying a similar approach to your boat. So if interested in any of this proppeds lmk
