    Best bowlifting prop

    Hello!
    I have a bowheavy daycruiser and I am trying to find the best bow lifting prop for my boat. My motor is a finger ported Evinrude 2.7 currently running a cupped 19" Hustler alu prop. The anti cavitation plate is appx 2" above the pad. With the current prop the motor will rev appx 6400 fully trimmed out.
    What is the best prop to run if bow lift is of importance?

    Best regards
    Anders

    Omc Raker is what everyone tells me to use, but I have heard a ballistic is also good.
    stainless is the way to go .
    check on fleabay, plenty around to fit your motor.

    Well, if we talk about surface-piercing stainless steel propellers:

    Chopper, Raker, Yamaha Pro Series are all much better than what you currently have if you want a 3-blade prop.

    I prefer 4-blade propellers for bow lift, though. Less steering torque for the same amount of lift.

    The Mazco RE-4 gives incredible bow lift. A Mercury Trophy gives a lot of bow lift as well.
