    prop selection

    I have a intimidator 00 its 19'6" I believe rated for a 200 hp motor. I just put a 200 Yamaha sho on it and its turning a 3 blade 26 pitch txp @ 6100 6000 rpms at about 72 73 mph. im curious if anyone on here has went through testing props. would I be able to gain mph with a 27 or 28 pitch? I also have a 10 inch bobs hydraulic plate too and im running it at about 2 inches. seems to handle there the best for me so far. any input on wht I should do would be greatly appreciated.

    Fastest prop for me is a worked Tempest. Best overall prop is a worked Bravo. I lose a couple of MPH top end, but the holeshot, midrange and handling are much better.
