210 Prop Help for Pulling Kids On Innertube

[Lagniappe]

I currently have an 09 210 with a 09 Etec 250ho on the back. Motor has a 27p Raker II and has great top end, but lacks a little in hull shot. I am wanting to pull the kids around on a tube and was looking for recommendations on a prop that would be better for towing/hull shot.

I was thinking about a 4 blade 26p prop, but really don't know much about how changing pitch and number of blades on the prop will effect me.

If I can find a prop suggestion that would yield me better hull shot while still maintaining a top speed of the mid to high 60's, I would be happy with that. Currently, with a full tournament load, I can do about 70mph @ 5800-5900 rpm. I also have a 10" hydraulic jackplate if that plays into any prop suggestions.

Thanks and please let me know if I forgot any more information that might be valid for this discussion.

I would drop to a 25 pitch of any good prop , 3 or 4 blade and that will make a big difference.

26 rx4 would probably help the holeshot or a bravo

Go low... Easier on motor.

I would think a 5 blade roughly 23P or even 22P will quickly pull you out of the hole as you are pulling a skier. Get rid of any excess weight in the back as well. This is not for speed and in fact you may hit your limiter with these pitches so take it easy with a 5 blade. Someone must have experience with this. Wait for it. Also maybe a 23P 4 blade bravo as well.
