    2008 etec, I didn't ask in the prop section cuz I figured this page would be full of people with the exact same boat motor, and definitely looking for a four-blade for what I'm looking for, was thinking maybe a trophy Plus

    I previously owned a ‘97 Stratos 201 and ran a 225 Etec with a 4 blade 25p Renegade. I had a 6” HiJacker manual jackplate. This setup worked very good for me. 3.5 p2p. Usually 70 mph top speed with pretty good hole shot.
