    Question Prop Recommendation 96 P2

    I'm running a 96 P2 with a 98 Mercury 200 EFI. My current prop is a 25p Trophy Plus. Would like to see better top end speed if possible. Trophy seems to do well but wanted to know if something was better. Thanks

    Well you never really posted any numbers..

    So what speed are you seeing? What’s your rpms? JP setting?

    speaking as someone who used to run a 97 PII DC 200 EFI, a 25 Trophy could be a 225 killer, setup properly. Unwind it with a 26 in the colder weather.
    but those days are long gone for me as far as I’m concerned. Good luck!

    My numbers: 69.5 mph, Right at 6k RPM's, 3 1/8 below the pad. Unknown water psi as my gauge doesn't work. At 3 1/2 I lose 1.5 mph.

    I would be running a Ronnie Gilbert reworked 24 Fury at about 3.25 in, I would also shorten the barrel 1/8 inch if it is a standard gearcase
    I you are not willing to have a Fury reworked stay with the tempest for best speed
