97 zx202c prop
Running a 25 trophy 4 blade now, 200 hp merc carb runs great but looking for a good 3 blade for it for a spare. What do you guys suggest? Boat does a issue with power loading with the trophy but not really that big of deal. Runs around 63-65 with 2 people an gear on gps.

Tempest plus size depends on loading. I would start with 25.

I have a 99ZX202 with a 200efi Merc and the tempest plus 25P. I’m actually looking to get down to a 24P or have this one worked: it doesn’t do bad; 63 is the best I have seen out of it with a tournament load and 2 bodies. I got a 23P turbo prop for free so I’m going to give that a whirl when I have time to do so but I’m assuming it’s going to be great out of the hole and I’ll lose top end and I’ll have to watch WOT rpms. Trial and error I suppose. :)

I have a 12” manual. Pretty sure Merc rates this motor for 5800 so I wouldn’t exceed it. And I don’t often get to open it up; usually too rough to get going that fast.
