Dale Nelson Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Anyone running a Powertech RAF3R17 prop on their 18’ Hewes with 2stroke Yamaha 115 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulligan Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I would be curious one how that runs on your boat if you try one out. I tried a RED when I had my BF. Fast prop but not much grip. I think the RED and RAF are similar with the RAF having more rake and cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Report post This confirmed why I wanted to try a 17p, couldn’t be happier. It always got out of the hole in a short distance- but now it is only one boat length. I was only able to get 5000rpm and 45 mph with the 19 p. 17p 3500= 26 mph 4000=30 4500=33.5 5000=37 5500=41.5 this is max rpm with no trim applied trim applied it will push around 5800 @ 43.5 mph only 1.5 less top speed. prop holds much better in tight turns- old prop would blow out pretty easy, it was ported new prop will not blow out going 15-20 and full turn of the wheel.
