Prop is sold.

I am very surprised that the 25pitch Trophy is too much for your PIII especially with the 3 liter Merc.  But if you are convinced you need a lower pitch, I have an older 23" pitch Trophy.  It is a large hub model so it isn't the optimum for speed but it has bigger blades that should work well for rough water.  Anyways, it has seen a few gravel bars and dented up the leading blade edges and should be reworked. 

You are welcome to it if you want to try it out and see if it might work for you.  Then send it in for repair and tuning.  You can keep the 25 for a spare - I already have two.

Thanks for the offer!  I wouldn't mind trying it out.  Yeah, you'd think the 25 would be right for that boat, but it's actually a 2.5ltr.  So it does have a little less low end torque.  It had great top end and midrange though.  It has really struggled out of the hole since I've owned it.  I just learned to live with it because originally they told me this was the right prop.  But now they tell me different.  Now they say I'm supposed to be running a 23, but I suspect a 24.  With water in the livewells and the 25 prop, it takes f o r e v e r to get out of the hole and the motor sounds like it's bogging down.  I tried a friend's 24 and it shot out of the hole like a smallie jumping out of the water.  Man, what a difference.

Email me what you would like for that 23p Trophy.  Thanks!!!
