    What prop for a 797 w/ 250 Pro XS

    I just bought a 2012 Charger 797 with a 250 Merc ProSX. It has a hydraulic jack plate. Just wonder what prop seems to work best with that set up? Something that balances between hole shot and top speed. Thanks!

    If you have the Gen2 Wingmaster, You will want large diameter props with a flared barrel... Have Mark build you an original Bravo1 with dual pvs holes and cup in the tips.

    Not sure what the "Gen2 Wingmaster" is referring to?

    If it's a 2012 it may have a Gen 1 TM lower unit.

    I don't know for sure yet. The boat is on its way to me. the lower unit is gray instead of black. That is all I know for now.

    It could be either one because the replacement Gen 1 TM were silver and so are the Gen 2 wing master. Wing master has small anti cav fins at the front and only three upper intake holes on each side. If the motor is a 2013 and up it should be a Gen 2.
