    What style prop has the least stern lift?

    My hull has a lot of lift and I run out of water pressure and the boat is still accelerating. I have ran a bravo, promax, and performer. Promax and performer run best. What's next??

    I'm no prop guru or anything, but my understanding is that stern lift is the opposite of bow lift. Typically, stern lifting props lift the stern by pushing up, which drops the bow. Bow lifting props lift the bow by pulling the stern down.

    That said, low rake props are typically stern lifters and high rake props are bow lifters. If you want more bow lift, look for something like a round ear chopper, Mazco (under 26p, as 27> are low rake), etc.

    A prop guy might be able to point you in a direction faster though. I use Kevin @ R&R Prop Shop. 702-564-7502. Call and bend his ear.
