Stock SJ prop option

[glenn240]

I can't believe I am even asking this after riding and wrenching for 30+ years. I have a bone stock 91 SN that I am throwing together for newbies to ride with various old parts from my stash of crap. I have an old school Skat 13-16 Slimline prop laying around (dunno where I got it) that I was thinking about putting in. Is this going to work ok with a stock 701? Gotta be better than the pos aluminum thing that's currently in it. I know I could just put it in and try it, but I would rather not waste any more time on this budget "frankenstein" build. Opinions appreciated, thanks

Will it work as good as a hooker, no, will it work for a stock SN, yes, not sure how much of a detailed answer you needed here.

I bet it will probably work pretty well. It's a much different design than the big hub swirl hooker impeller. The skat impeller won't load the engine as much at low rpms like the hooker. The big hub allows a much lower leading edge pitch on the impeller.

I bet it will outrun the modern large hubs on smooth water.

Is it marked 36V or is it actually stamped 13/16? The old straight blade 36v were in a lot of old 650 boats that came thru the boneyard. It's probably going to have good bottom end being that low and stainless
