Just bought boat about a month ago, starting upgrades for performance and I noticed it’s turning a 28 raker on a 201 PE with a 99 200 Evinrude. Anyone else think this is a bit steep of a prop for a 200 on the 201v

sounds like a lot of pitch but more information is needed...what is your GPS speed and max rpm
-- 200 carb motor? 24p or 25p likely best mine came with a 26p raker on a 20 footer and it was fine but I liked the 25p 4 blade better I installed later

200 ficht (let the bashing begin). I believe my tach is off however shows running 5400rpm at 58mph gps. Also person who had the boat before me had a transom setback with a CMC backplate bolted to it. Anyone see this kind of setup before?
how far is motor from the hull? 200 ficht is what I have also, been a great motor (original owner) i can hit 70 without talons and about 65 with talons running a 24p bravo1 with and a 25 renegade boger prop without talons easily. your numbers seem bad. need to try a 25 or 24 prop I bet, a good fresh prop. i would go with a 4 blade since it is a longer boat with a less hp motor

I just went and looked but forgot to take a tape measure with me, I’m guessing 4-6” on the setback and 6” plate. Guess I’m just curious what everyone else is running for props on similar setups.
6-8 fine 10 is pushing it but workable

My 93 spun a 26 Raker at 6300 rpms and held up all the bow lift I wanted. Could have turned more prop if I wanted. My 95 was all the same but had the pro deck yet did not perform nearly the same. OMC turned out some ringer motors and it was a crap shoot on who got the good ones. There was rumors that some 200's where actually getting 225 carbs from the factory but no way to tell.
