    Prop suggestions?

    Hey guys, looking to change from OMC 4 blade (Cyclone) to 3 blade. My boat and motor: 2003 Champion 196 w/2003 Evinrude Ficht 200 hp. I top out (5700 rpm) at about 56 mph. Others have suggested an original Raker, but are hard to find. Any help would be appreciated.

    A tempest plus would be another good choice. Not sure what pitch to recommend since you did not mention what you have now.

    My old Champion, was a 1999 191DC with a Johnson 200. I tried A LOT of different props and my fastest was a 25P Tempest A45 worked by Mark. The A45, tournament loaded in the cooler months would turn 68 mph @ 5600 rpms. Keep in mind I did run lithium batteries. Summertime it ran right at 65 mph. Holeshot was incredible and it carried a load extremely well.

    What pitch raker are you looking for.
