I was thinking the 1920lb spec referred to dry hull (no gas in the tank and no motor)...earlier hulls allowed 235 HP, but later hulls like my '95 V21 only allowed 200 which always seemed odd to me. My best prop experience was a 17x15.25x3 SS by Power Tech...on a 150 Honda topped out at 42 and easily and economically cruised at 30. Generally a 4 blade prop has stern lifting characteristics which is good cuz V20s ride a bit bow high and like Ferm sez, may drop a couple of MPH off the top end. A good friend of mine has a 250 Verado on a 24 Everglades and loves his 4 blader...
