running hawk outrigger with 3.5 picco motor. props ive tried have been prather stainless 225,220,and 215. all three have been balanced and polished. 225 boat dies as soon as it hits the water, turns 220 ok and i only use 215 when i have tuning issues. want to try something else where is a good place to start???

I had a great running hawk and it likes the H4 prop.

I'd send David Preuse a PM.....his Dad designed the hawk series and they had a very good handle on making that boat run.

also had one(1994) with a black Picco P-5 and X440-X442-1445 and 1450(47mm) used to be easy for this engine to pull the boat...don't really like Prather props for riggers.
