Waveblaster impeller recomendations

[Blaster94]

While riding yesterday I noticed I was having a substantial amount of cavitation. When I got home I looked through the pump and have come to the conclusion that my impeller is burnt up from cavitating too much. Every thing I have read leads me to believe that the solas concorde 13/17 pitch will be appropriate for my ski. Any one have any other suggestions/ recomendations as to the proper impeller for a 701 single carb mod pipe blaster?

Thanks in advance,
JD

Seems like you already answered your own question....the solas concord 13/17 is the best one. I am currently using a 9/17 skat on a 95 blaster with a riva pipe and it performs quite well also.

yep 13/17 concord seems perfect on a limited blaster.

Okay, I got home today and dug around in the garage and found a nearly mint solas yb-sc-j 14.7-18.5 prop. It is just missing the rubber nose cone. I think this is mostly for a limited racing type of setup but I'm wondering if it will work for my application. Is a 14.7-18.5 going to be a dog out of the hole? I'll order a new 13-17 this week but I'm fairly sure I would not get it until after next weekend and I won't have time to install it for another 3 weeks after that. Would I just be better off to live with the cavitation another few weeks or go ahead and put the solas I got on this week? Any opinions?

It's worth a try, the mod pipe gives you pretty good low end power.
