New 99 Pro Air prop questions?

[Miljack]

Hi guys,
I got the new toy home last week , 99 pro air with 502 python, factory tower and ballast. I am going through the boat now, and I want to have the original prop serviced, and pick up a new one to use as the primary. Anyone with ideas on what the stock prop is like for this boat setup? Does it make sense to get a new prop that is different in pitch/size from the stocker to try?
Primary use for the boat will be as a "combo" boat, we ski, int./beginner wakeboarding, etc..

Any suggestions on good prop repair places? We're in Charlotte, NC.

thanks,
Jack

I have used the stock size on my '99 python and can't imagine needing anything else.....at least you don't need more power or speed!!! The boat pulls like a locomotive and is smooth as can be. It's top speed is great and the low end torque is Right Now. Enjoy your boat, it sounds like a nice set up.

I have a 99 Sport Nautique (Not a V-drive)

I had some extensive prop damage this past summer. My dealer replaced my original prop with a different one. I don't remember what the specs were on the new one...but, I can tell a significant difference out of the hole with this new prop. I can tell very little impact to the overall high end speed. I suggest to go for the upgrade.....talk to your dealer and see what he suggests. Or call my dealer...MD Boats.

Do you have the python in your Sport??

Nope.....your right, that might make the difference.

Was just wondering. If you had a line on a performance prop for the hog I was very interested!
