Hi Guys.
I have an 18.5 Ft Bowrider with a 91 200 Hp mariner V6. I currently have a 19P Laser II, vented Stainless prop on it, which is what I got when I bought the setup. The boat jumps out of the hole and is very responsive with the slightest touch of the throttle.
When trimmed properly (Just before a rooster tail or a small one) the boat runs at a top end of 52-53 MPH at around 5300-5400 Rpm when trimmed properly, which is what I think is the top end of the rev limit on the motor.
For skiers, tubers and wakeboarders I have plenty of bottom end grunt and have to be careful with the throttle to avoid removing the shoulders from their sockets.
I wondering if a different prop would give me a better top end with a little less bottom end power????
Can anyone suggest a change or do I have the optimum setup at present?
