So is this a better choice than another prop? Is this enough knots for this boat? What is the hull speed of the Contessa 26? Thanks alot!

Re: Prop size (47 replies, posted in Technical)
Ok, the ratio is 2:1 and it says on the prop 12RH9. I don't know what RPMs because it is not yet in the water and I want to change the prop before I put in. Any recommendations on prop?

Re: Prop size (47 replies, posted in Technical)
I have a 26' with a newer Yanmar 1 GM 10 and still have a 2 blade 12x8 prop from the old Ferryman. The previous owner said he had trouble getting over 1 knot when entering the harbor against a 4 knot current. Any advise on a prop for this boat? Thanks, I've not had her in the water, yet..my first boat!!
