Prop recommendation...

[wildkat7]

For you ZX225 owners, what prop would you recommend. I currently run a 27-T1 Yamaha VMAX prop but am getting a replacement to go along with a new LU due to insurance. I was wondering if you guys could think of a better prop for my boat. Was thinking of something lower in pitch as it seems most run a 25-26 pitch prop. Have a ox66 225hp motor. Suggestions?

I run a 02 ZX225 with hpdi LU on 225ox66 and 25TXP. Good for 72gps loaded by myself and 70 with 2, good hole shot. 26TXP is great in winter have seen 74 a couple of times, 71 with 2 but slower hole shot. 27m was a best prop performance wise but broke too many of them. Get a hpdi LU if you can.

If you run pretty heavy on gear, bolt on a 25 T-1. It is the best I have tried on my floating tackle store.

Any others...I was actually going to post this very topic..I have a 2004 Skeeter ZX225 with a Vmax 225 ox66. The boat currently has a 27m.

I'll be selling a Croxtonized B&B 26P TXP soon... i've no idea on price but with my phase 3 now it's not enough anymore... it's in perfect condition.

I ran it last year on my ZX225 and it ran well.

This is the one I told them to order. If switching from a 27 to a 25, do you think I'll have to make any changes to my jackplate setting?

Well right now i have a B&B 26p TXP and a B&B 27p T1.

I took a recommendation from someone who has run my new boat/motor setup and they suggested a 30p TXP... it sounds like a lot BUT remember it's a phase 3 now. That is on it's way but i won't get to run it until spring now. It's possible that 'may' be a little too much but someone else on here has already offered to trade it for a 29 TXP.

So that'll leave me with 3 props so the 26p will likely get sold and i may even trade my 27p for a 28p but i'll wait till spring before doing that as i need to run them and figure out for myself what works. Switching props without real numbers to go on isn't a great idea.

It's going to be a loooong winter up here

That 29 is sold and tmbullet bought a 30 already.

It's worse than crack this bass boat thing

I actually got the 30 in the mail today but my rig is away for the winter now so i'll have to wait till spring to try it.

how are you breaking props? just curious cause i never have before

[SkeeterJohn]

The m series is thinner/lighter and better suited to 150/175 motors... once you get into the 200-250's the T series are stronger. Like myself others also run the TXP props as they're also a thicker more sturdy prop for the larger engines.
