prop pitch, re pitching, help?

[skatebros]

i recently pulled my solas concord 12-15 to try a skat swirl 13-17 with wamiltons mod. i have more mid and top, but the bottom still takes a bit to load up. should i keep the skat swirl in? or have my solas re-pitched back to its original 13-17, or 12-16? or? or?

this may potentially save me a few hundred dollars.

61-x 701. ported cyl, b-pipe, msd enhancer, water injection, dual 44's, 144mm blueprint pump. stubby cone.

any advice?

who would you send it to?

I'll trade you a skat-trak swirl 12/17 3mm cutback race finished and balanced for your Solas Concord 12/15 if it is in mint condition.

Here is the skat, used it 1 time.
Comes with impeller tool.

i appreciate the offers, but i would really like to figure out what i need first!
a trade does sound a lot better than sending out for re pitching.
my prop has two seasons on it, but i'll be darned if it doesn't look nearly new.
yb-cd-13/17 with hand written 12/15 inside and out.

you can send it right to skat-trak... they will work it for you.....they are very fast too.....I think my prop was only gone about a week.

it would seem to me that you concord 12/15 is gonna give you the greatest amount of bottom en out of the you have. Why would you repitch the concord back to 13/17? Wouldn't you be losing bottom end?

Everyone is forgetting one big factor, your nozzle size. Is it stock or bored out?

I'm at 85mm with freestyle cone and Concord 13/16 with a LPW 760 turning it. I would imagine you want to be slightly below that with less displacement, and if you're running a stock nozzle, even lower.

On the Skat, I'm not sure what pitch swirl would be the equivalent.

The Concord 12/15 might be ideal with your setup if running a stock nozzle size.

the 13-17 i am running right now seems to have the same bottom end, and more mid to top. my ski has great mid. maybe i should quit messing with it. it's not a flatwater ski, even though i do ride flatwater as regularly as surf.

my top speed with the 12-15 was exactly 50mph gps

my nozzle is bored out, haven't measured it. i didn't do it.

I can only tell you that I had concord 12/15 a while back, and that thing cavitated pretty bad, it had great snap right of idle, but if you go from 1/4 to 1/2 or full throttle, it will cavitate. I swaped that with 12/17 skat and never looked back. My motor is not even ported; it's got pipe, voforce reeds, carbs spacers with stock carbs, RAD flywheel, ADA head (170psi), and bored nozzle.
