what can I expect from this prop overstock? I have macs module and intercooler and wedge.

If I remember correctly, better acceleration especially in chop, but lower top end.

You are right, stock, but i think he'll get more on top too since he has the mac goodies on there as well. Cant believe he's churnin' that kinda hp with a stock prop..i thought you'd just sit and cavitate.

actually cavitates very little

The Solas is better than the stock impeller [which is also a Solas]. The best price I have found was at Parkeryamaha.com .

I have the same set up . gps 64.5 with full tank and fairly smooth water. my wgh-185.
with the solas I get a little better bite on take off. From what I have been reading here I think that's as good as I am going to get. 04 R12X

is that the only advantage, a little better bite on takeoff? I'm wondering if it's worth $280. thanx for the info

you could try bending your prop or if you don't know how then send to carl at islandracing.net and ask him to bend your stock prop to 18/30 pitch.

what does an 18/30 do?

I have ran the Solas 17/29 last year, Macsboost recommends it, and includes it in his kit. Looks like I will be picking up Skat-Trax for a sponsor this year, so I will update the difference once I have it installed. Either way, its much better than the stock impeller...
