Good luck on your trip and drink a beer for me at Lottas Krog!
Vaasa and Umeå's gap is a narrow sea, no ocean. Open sea maybe 40 km (24miles). A quick boat does not last a long time to cross the sea. Then a river along the city.Quote:

windless air, so no problem. But the propeller should be different that the pace would be greater
Let us know when you make the trip. Take some pictures too. Really sounds interesting. But still be careful.

Consider the OJ 454, 13.7" diameter x 17.5" pitch or the OJ 1291, 14" x 20". https://www.ojprops.com/
man, looking online it doesn't look that bad but NO WAY I would cross in that boat if it was me. bay of green bay was anxiety enough out in the "open" water of the great lakes and can only see land on one side and depth can creep up in a hurry. we never put on lake michigan in WI just due to the boat size vs water size.
either way if you make the journey post up some pics. cool to see owners in other parts of the world.
can the 14 ”propeller spin? i'm afraid it hits the bottom of the trailer. what are the axel details? has anyone installed a larger pitch propeller? what is speed ? are there good used propeller stores in the US?Quote:

Most of us on this forum are running extra ballast and lower pitch props so top speed is not a concern. The OJ 454 came on my boat from the factory.
