I'd like to see who's using a Prop with Highest Pitch on what Boat/Motor? Top Speed?
No rhyme or reason for asking, just for tickles.

2004 TR 21PD, 225 Mercury efi with a 27" trophy plus
I run 27-30P, But that's nothing compared to the Stroker Yamaha guys. Many Merc guys run smaller props and more rpms as the motor allows.

30 Bravo turning to 6000-6100 getting a lot of slip. Have an over the hub 30 Signature going to try next. 27 Fury all around prop gets me 84 with 2 people tourney loaded.
I am currently trying a Mark Croxton Razor4XL in 28 pitch, no final results yet, but promising. I also have owned 28 BravoI, 26 RakerII, 27
Turbo TXP, 27 Mazco 4 blade, TXP OT4 in 27, Tempest 25", 27" and a few others. Bottom line is my set up likes large hub, 4 blade, long barrel cupped 28 pitch vented props best. Fastest my boat ever ran was 79.1 GPS the first day the 250HO was installed using a 27 TXP vented 3 blade, but had no hole shot.
In cool weather I ran a 27 Tempest plus worked by Propeller Dynamics to 74.5 Mph, 2004 Stratos 195 ProXL with 200 HO DFI and lightning gearcase. Run a magnum case now and lucky to hit 70!
I ran 97 mph in my Stroker 250XS with 1.62 gears and a 32" double cupped big ear chopper. I know others who have run a 34" Bravo with similar setups.
30" Bravo on the rev limiter (6150 rpms)...89.3 mph. Still perfecting the set-up and then the rev limiter is getting cut so we can really see what she's got.
96 Bullet 20cc, Yamaha OX 250+, 10" jack, labbed 30" Bravo LH w/1.25" exhaust pipes, counter rotating Bob's lower, it goes faster when you spin it the other way...
26 pitch on my ranger 18' and the rpm and mph number's are to low....may need a 24....but runs great
