I've the Pro 9 man with a 50 on the back. Use it for diving and family trips with the odd rescue cover thrown in.
Never been out in anything too big but for the type of boating we use her for she's just great - you'll love yours

Not meaning to hijack the thread but I have a Pro 470 that is currently being fitted with a 60 hp 4 stroke and was wondering what prop to use. Just wondering what others are using.

Office888, thanks for the lead, but I can't find a similar boat on there.
I was hoping someone on here with a similar combination could let me know what they have in terms of prop.
The 60hp comes with a 15 inch Stilleto prop and I am thinking that should be close.

Office888, you are the master of search. Thank you very much.
Looks like I need a new prop.

Not meaning to hijack the thread also but I had a Zodaic Pro9 and it was fantastic until someone stole the engine, anyway I still have the front bow cushion available for it if anyone wants to buy it?

I do need a front bow cushion but I am guessing the freight will cost more than the cushion as I am in Australia.
Do you remember what prop you had and what engine?

Ive got a 550 pro tour and believe the hulls are now quite different from the earlier ones. Mine is a 2014 model which handles well above its weight, Ive been out 3m+ swells and always felt extremely safe.
Ive owned and used many boats over my 40years of boat owning, also worked as a marine rescue volunteer for around 15 yrs and have to say my pro is the best fun Ive ever had in any boat.

The 420, 500, and 550 hulls have been relatively unchanged since 2003. Prior to that there have been changes every few years. Since 1989 there have been:
Pro 420, 470, 500,530,550 and 600
Pro 7,9,12,15, and 16
And now back to pro 420,500,550 and 650

We had a 2005 Yamaha 50hp EFI on it, no idea now what the prop was.

Zodiac puts a 10 5/8" x 12" aluminum prop on the Pro 500/ Yamaha 50 package from the factory here in the states. However every engine is gonna be different.

Zodiac pro 500
Was trying to post on another topic and my tech skills are insufficient to remove this photo using my iPad, so here is a photo of my Zodiac Pro.

Had a 420 Yachtline (same hull?) - it was fine when smooth, but as you can see here it slams in the chop!

Are you sure as I was told the hulls were improved in the more recent models, looking at a few hulls online of older boats they look different to mine.
Jon
Older style with less chines would surely have less lift and stability underway.
