Best props for stock Zelos 36

What would be the best prop for a stock Zelos 36 twin. I am think the Octura x447 sharpened and balanced.

The x447 are a good stable set of props but some have had heat issues with them in the past. I used to run a set that were cut slightly from dasboata and never had any issues and ran low 70's. But the best props for the Zelos 36 is the stock props s&b or Octura X442 s&b. I say that because you won't have any heat issues with them and will run solid in the mid 60's. But if you are wanting to know what is the fastest props then the abc 1716-17-45 are them, for a stock boat, if it's set up properly. I don't want to recommend the 1716 to you because I'm not sure what conditions you run in and how your boat is set up because you could have a bad experience with them if your stuff isn't right. But they do work well for me and others. I ran 80mph with the old 3910 motors and 90mph with the new 3831 motors using the 1716 props (they did run pretty warm with the old 3910 motors though). Check out Keagan-Z06's Zelos Fast list to see what other props people are running and have success with. I recommend to hit up dasboata on here for whatever props you decide on if you want a professionally prepped set. Good luck with it!

Is it worth buying a set of x442 s&b, or will I ge the same performance with my stock s&b?

They are the exact same prop except the stock are ss. If you are doing them yourself then I wouldn't invest in the Octura's. But if you were to have a pro do them I would get x442. The x442 will be slightly faster than the stock if both prepped right due to them being made from lighter materials and from better molds. Most Pros charge slightly more to sharpen and balance ss props as well. However if you are confident in your boat set up the x447's are great props if you have someone slightly trim them to around 45mm. If not you could have heat issues with anything other than a excellent balanced setup
