there are a few other props that would work with it, the prop mentioned is a good one and the 7016/2 prop is a great prop to have in your box, it pretty much works well on everything.

Great choice in Cat! I run a 6717/3, 7016/2 is another great prop as mentioned.

Very Nice looking Boat ! Just one observation....the water outlets on the back. Not being able to see if you have water flow could cost you your engine.

IMHO : Wally

You've got a lovely looking ac there buddy. I'd say you need to move your cooling pissers from the back to the side just so you can see them that's all... Just easyer to see if you get blockage might get not be able to see them properly at the back... To much water being pushed about.

Love the paint job tho...

Two props I'd highly recommend, a 2716/3 or 2614/3. The latter one is a really fast prop for your boat.
Is the ESP Earth Surfer Products? I know the guy and he wanted to do up an engine for me. I've been to his house and have seen his setup, not bad for a one-car garage operation!
