Surfriding Switch to a large hub impeller?

[millnoff]

I've got a 62t/62t 760 with recent porting, ported cases, bpipe, vf2, 175psi head, lightened fw and couplers and I'm running a re pitched small hub swirl 12/17, I found a pretty good deal on a big hub 12/17 -3 swirl and I'm wondering if it would be a good upgrade?

I've got a few diff exit nozzel sizes and a stock and ww pump cone so I can play around with things a bit if I need to. Seems like most people like the larger hubs and cut back impellers, I'm just worried that with my 62t cylinders it might be to much load?

What do you guys think?

I can't answer your question exactly, but realize that big hub props put more load on the motor than small hub props. I'm not saying your motor can't turn That prop, but there is a possibility that your motor can't turn the same size big hub as it can a small hub.

The big hub will stay connected noticeably better. Your high port engine will not tolerate any overloaded condition so be prepared to use a bored nozzle and bend the back edges of the prop if you get sluggish response. Cones make no difference.

Thanks guys, so kinda off topic but would stock 61x cyl make a way more fun freestyle/wave riding ski over my ported/bored 62t?
