I will sleep purchased a 2005. Chaparral 215S aside and was enable to get up on plane with the prop. They put on my boat would just 4 people. Can someone advise me as do what prop? They found best for a heavier load. I even had everyone stand to the front. With no luck, he put on a 4 sided prop.

Welcome
Tell us more about the 5.0 motor? Is it a GXI, GI and any other letters for the model?

What is the max RPM you can see at wide open throttle (WOT)?

What size and pitch is the prop on the boat now?

Is the motor running on all 8 cylinders?

Have you weighed the boat? Does it match published specs?

Compression numbers?

Current prop?

Current WOT RPM?

Current WOT speed?
