    should be a 27-T1 prop. i'm not sure on the measrurements...maybe Jason Phillips will post that. but it should be around 2 3/4 to 3" below pad....

    Jason, am i close?

    Close.

    A couple of things are different between Michael's rig and mine. He's running the hydro plate and also a 36 volt trolling motor. So, this 201 has some extra weight in it. Michael's getting 77 with a full load by himself which isn't bad. The 27T1 is a good prop, but a good balancing job on it may pick up another mph or two. This boat also ran 81+ empty so I don't think it is off by too much.

    See if you can borrow a 27 Tempest... It runs comparable on speed with my T1, but is a lot better mannered prop... Almost no chine walk, better handling and still runs 77-78 with normal tournament load, minus a partner...I run mine at 3" below...
