Default Re: Prop for a 225 2-stroke evinrude?

What style prop are you currently running?

I know my 140 on my 19' COBRA will run 43MPH @4600RPM's with a 14"X19 ALUMINUM. And will run 46 MPH @ 5900-6100(6100 is the rev limiter) with a 13 3/8"X17 MICHIGAN match stainless. But my 13 3/8"X19 VIPER will run 53 MPH @5600. My 17 pitch gets me alot lower fuel consumption per hour, but doesn't run at high cruise speeds(probably cruise off around 32-34 @4000). But I can run almost 40 @4000 with my 19. You can spend a BUNCH of money playin with props REALLY quick.

I know that when I re-propped my buddys WELLCRAFT 248 with TWIN 225 EVINRUDE gulpers, I went to the 19 pitch MICHIGAN RAPTURE XHS and his boat picked up over his 19 pitch OMC stainless props he had before. It used to top out around 5700 and run close to 50, afterwards we ran out of ICW at 53(20MPH speed zone ;D) and turnin 5600RPM's with a HUGE jump in economy.
