One of the two is a Mercury Trophy 4 blade 26 pitch, with a flo-troq center, the other is a older style 3 blade Raker 24 pitch with a Rubber style hub.
The Boat is a 1994 Stratos 201 PRO XL with a 1988 Johnson GT 200, you may read about it.
With the Trophy 4 blade 26 pitch, the motor turns around 5100 rpms max and the 3 blade Raker 24 pitch is about 5500 rpms.
What is the best range for this boat and motor where I am not lugging the motor or causing the connecting rods to poke through something ugly
, cause if it is ugly, it will cost you in the long run.
I am thinking the best would be a four blade prop, just not the 26 pitch, so is there any ideals out there?
