New Single Prop from 2008 Chaparral 224 SUNESTA

[stewart]

We would like to change the double propeller on our 2008 Chaparral 224 SUNESTA to a more fuel efficient single propeller that will produce a better wake for skiing and cruising on flat inland waters.

The current propeller came standard when we imported the boat. Can you recommend which propeller to use and where we can purchase it from?

Thanks,

What drive and engine do you have? Where are you located?

[stewart]

We are in South Africa and the boat has an inboard 6.2l Merc Cruiser.

How can a single propeller be more efficient? Trim up a little and the wake will build....research switching to a Bravo III XR 4/3 blade setup (assuming that's the drive you have).

if the current drive has two props its either a merc bravo 3 or Volvo Duo prop. If that's what you mean by two props as in two props stacked on top of each other and they counter rotate.  If that's the case you cant just switch the prop the whole drive has to be replaced,  the drive is the black or grey part that sticks out the back of the boat.  New Drives to do this would probably cost you close to $10,000 US.   Maybe you could find used parts to make the conversion.

I'm not necessarily sold on Bravo 3s myself, and could see converting to a Bravo one maybe, but even then doesn't really make any sense.

You cannot simply swap the prop to convert a twin contra-rotating propset to a single prop drive. Would require swapping the drive. Big bucks. 

Stick with your twin props.

Your boat is really too heavy to use a single prop, that is why all the later sunestas had dual prop.  much less chance of blow out in corners and quicker acceleration.

This single prop from 2008 chaparral 224 sunesta is fantastic, and I hope that more props like this will be shared here soon. I am working on the best online writing service paper right now, and I'll include this content about this chaparral in there.

If it's a merc. Could you swap lower units from a bravo 3 lower to a bravo 1 lower? I thought the uppers were the same except for gear ratio.

Can't imagine why anyone would want to do so other then trying to make the boat go over 60mph. With tons of HP upgrades.
