I just purchased a new 90 hp ETEC for my 1964 Sakonnet

Recommendations for prop size?

Usage 10% trolling, 80% cruising at 15 - 20 kts, 10% water skiing/wakeboarding.

Thanks.

Patrick

You want a 13-1/4" x 15" Stiletto Advantage 4.25 with a DE-503 hub kit.

Be sure to have the motor bolted to the transom at least two holes up, if not three.

Do NOT let the dealer mount the motor all the way down on the transom or even merely one hole up.

I just bought a 90TLR and a Solas 13.25 x 17 SS for my 1963 Currituck. Should I have gone with the 15" also? Will be a couple weeks before I get the boat back in the water for test. Planning on going on the OIA trip this summer then fishing in the marsh.
