One of the impellers is a bit chewed up, and the other one looks fine but has a cracked wear ring. So I decided that since I'm pulling both sides out, I might as well get two new matching impellers.

The SBT exchange program is sold out for my boat, so that nudged me into getting two Solas impellers. I am looking for some feedback as to which would suit me better... the Concord SD-CD 15/23, or the X Prop SD-SC-XO 16.5/23.5

I don't tow any skiers or anything in the boat, so I don't really care about hole shot. I would like something that has good performance and a high top speed. Acceleration would be nice, but I am more concerned with top end.

Would the X Prop be a better choice considering what I want out of it?

If anyone has experience with either of these impellers and how they perform versus the stock impellers, please chime in!

I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!

(oh and by the way... its a 1997 Challenger 1800 with the twin 110hp's)

Check with Dave, http://seadoosportbo...__1#entry13340. He also recently purchased a Solas impeller so hopefully he can provide some feedback for you if has installed it already.

I added the solas XO to my single and after replacing wear ring/resealing the shoe.I`ve been really happy with it.I acually ran it for awhile with the old impeller then got the solas it was a big improvement.The water is blown out of the nozzel with alot more vilocity.I have a vts system on mine,not sure if the twin engine ones do or not,but I can position up and blow a respectable rooster.

Sorry about the grammar and spelling on previous post. My challenger [single/14.5] will do 54 mph[gps] and its hole shot is very good for a single.Solas XO
