    Motor Change!

    I have a 2004 195 ProXL. The boat came with an Evinrude 200HO. I have been running a 27 pitch Tempest on this rig and was able to turn that prop to 6K rpm. I am currently replacing the Evinrude with a new Mercury 200 ProXS. I am also replacing my 6" plate with a 8" plate. My question is what prop should I plan on running on this setup. I will try the Tempest that I have to get a baseline but hoping someone has a similar (294) rig with a Merc that can provide some insight. i think my 195 is a little heavier than a 294 due to two storage boxes up front and two separate livewells. Also any setup help would be appreciated.
    Thank You
    Mike

    26 fury is my favorite prop for 294 Merc

    There was a thread back in day where some guys ran a dozen props on 294 setups and posted results.
