That motor takes the same as the 2000 I've got, 15 spline.
This was the 14x19ss and 14.8x17al fuel burn numbers.
5000rpm-42mph-19.5gph-2.15mpg
3800rpm-30mph-10.5gph-2.85mpg
1250rpm-5mph - 2.5gph -2.0mpg
I'm not sure what the WOT rpm's are supposed to be for that engine. I just know I never achieved them with these two props.

So, it turns out that the old motor I had (91 Rude 200) had a 4 blade prop on it. It says 15x16 on it. I assume that is a 15" blade with a 16 degree pitch!?!
If this is the case, I plan on trying it out over this next weekend and see how it performs.
btw, using the 21p prop Saturday I was running 39 mph (gps) at 4200rpm. Seems as though the engine had lots more in it but I didn't push things. Absolutely ran like a charm though.
