Author Topic:   13 Stainless Prop

Erich posted 12-02-2001 10:03 PM ET (US)
I have an OMC stainless steel propeller that is leftover from my 92 Sport 13, I had a 50 Johnson on the boat and propped it for top end speed. I seperated the boat and engine and sold them off, but the prop is in my garage and in great shape. the size is
11 1/4" x 19", I'd like to sell it because I'm all done (and too old) to be blasting off the top of wakes in a 50hp potato chip. My next 13 is going to be mellow with a Nixon-era 25hp engine. If any of you guys are interested in it, email me at capterich@aol.com, my profile email no longer works.

Since this post is in the performance area, how fast did you get the 13 to go with a SS proped 50hp Johnson?-EasyE

I'm can't be sure Easy-E, because I never actually had it clocked with a GPS, but what I can tell you is that I ran alongside a Sea-ray that topped out at 43 m.ph, and I passed him! The best speed were always attained in a light chop, with the boat heading into the wind. Once I got here wound up and the motor trimmed out, I'd slide my butt as far aft on the bench seat as far as I could. I'd feel the bow lift up and accelerate, the engine grab a couple extra hundred rpms, and I was gone. I knew the engine wasn't just cavitating with air under the hull, because I would actually pull away from an opponent who I was locked in neck and neck with.
Nowadays, my back just can't take the washboard ride that a 13 produces with that kind of power, thats why I sold it. But I'd sure like to find this prop a good home, its useless to me now.

Erich and worked out the problem with his e-mail and profile--a little techno glitch that had to be rounded off.
As for a 13-Sport with a 25-HP OMC from the Nixon era, that's a great boat. My wife and her sisters used to water ski behind one when they were teenagers (and even into their 30's).
