My buddy has a 186 with a Johnson 175 fast strike motor. He is looking for a new prop and I told him I would check on here for him. Can anybody tell me what they are running on their 186's. He just got the boat last year and has not had it out that many times and is new to the bass boat thing. I do not have any measurements, RPMs, speeds, etc. yet. We are going out next week and I will try to get more info.
I run a 25p renegade on my 187 w/ 8inch JP and aprox 3.5 below. I also have a 24p raker as a back-up that works OK, but notas good as the renegade.

Wags what kind of numbers were you getting with your 24 Raker?
Trent my motor has been modified since 97 so my numbers would not really be what your buddies boat would see. If I remember right I believe I was running around 67 gps stock light load. I was still running a 24 Raker with the stock motor, and like I stated I'm running a 24 Raker now that has been worked by Mark C. The 186 runs hard with the boat high on the pad, he should feel a lot of lift when running WOT. A real good starting point is prop shaft set at 3.5" below the pad. Get the numbers "speed RPMs" and get with Mark C here and see if he can get a little more out her. Your buddy has a great boat and motor combo, best of luck http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
