Hello again Jeff and thank you for the details.

You and I are running the same outboards, mine is a 2007 with just barely 100 hrs. of use. Mine is mounted all the way up on the transom with cavitation plate roughly an inch above keel. I've run to prop types on my Dauntless with different performances felt.

First was a Solas (older version) Saturn in Stainless 13-1/4"D x 17"P 3 blade "round-ear". It had good mid-range with top end but hard to get on plane, it would bury the stern (drive tucked all in)...not good if in shallow water. It didn't really like slower cruising speeds either.

My current prop is from Power Tech (can't remember model number) but it's listed for our Yamaha 90 2 stroke. It's 13"D x 17"P 3 blade "semi-cleaver" in Stainless (similar to OEM Yamaha props). Night and day performance...this prop pops the stern right up with minimal rpm and has great mid and upper range performance.

I would guess my Dauntless 15 probably weights slightly more than your Classic 15, these Yamaha 90's definitely get the job done...no complaints here.

That's it for now...happy boating too you.

Regards,
Angel M.
