Hey guys what up? i m building my first inboard boat running a weedie eater motor of 23 to 26 cc.. i aint got a clue of what i need for a prop as far as being in the range for the size boat im building..my hull is shallow vee 20 inches wide about 46 to 48 inches long fiberglass and ill be running a 1/4 inch shaft. but i dont know if it should be a surface drive or sumerged as i dont know the benefits of one or the other or how to pick a prop based on the options. i dont mind destroying a few props in the process of learning to sharpen and balance them but i dont want to buy a bunch of stuff i dont need and cant use. so how do i go about figuring it out and are there cheaper options like plastic till i find about what i need in size, pitch and blade count. i hate having to ask but i sure could use the help then how about a video of hop ups for the motors gotta go there next keeping in mind that money is no object cuz i sure aint got any
