Just got my RT188 last month and came with a 13.25 X 19 aluminum prop. With me the wife and son it turned 5k rpm and touched 50 MPH by boat dash. I have put on a power tech ELD3 13.375 X 17 SS and with the wife and I hit 5500 rpm but lost about 4 mph, going into some chop managed 43 by gps or 46 by dash. Has anyone made a similar or different prop change and can you provide numbers. My previous rig was a early Skeeter HP150 with a 140 hp 'Rude that would touch 55 with me by myself, maybe I was spoiled!! Fishing is my first priority and I am only willing to do a prop change for warranty reasons. 5 years on the boat and 6 on the motor, got lucky and they offered double the warranty, oh yea!! =D> =D> =D>
