So, you think I can get the rpm out of this prop- but I just need to drive the boat - not relax at the wheel like I've always gotten to?
I dont have a problem trying that method out. Makes sense....
I would have kept my 25p 4 blade as well .... great speed out of it. But it's not allowing the motor to run the recommended rpm range- which if I'm not mistaken is like driving around town always in...
Just to follow up : I repowered with a 200 pro xs 4 stroke in late November. Thayers Marine took care of me. I couldnt be happier. I also got the hull wrapped - the boat is like a brand new ride all...

Good call. I agree - maybe a dealer will have some insight.
The hull is a 1997 518 svs
Repowering with 2020 pro xs 200hp 4 stroke. Looking for recommendations for prop selection to begin with. I currently only own a 26 tempest plus and a 25 trophy plus. I'm thinking both will be over...
Thank you for the input. I agree with you- I did a little displacement calculation today and came up with the same result
Thanks for the input all!
I'm really hoping things arent backordered til spring
