the raker 24 is a popular prop on the 201's

Im kinda wanting to see what kinda speeds you are gonna get out of the 201. I just purchased one after thanksgiving! I never got mine even on the water. I just started restoring it. I had some rotting floor issues. But hope to get it back together real soon

This winter I bought to a 1991 201 Pro with a 1996 200 Vindicator. In the winter with 50 degree weather I tried 2 props. 24 Raker that ran 67 mph, but RPMs were 6200, so I want to try a 26 Raker one day, but I am concerned about hole shot. But knowing summer heat at 90 degrees will bring it down, I expect 64 MPH at 6000 rpm at WOT. I also tried an old 27" Shooter like you have and it ran 55 mphs at 6200. So I sold the Shooter with my FastStrike 150 last week, however by dropping the motor 1/2" on Jackplate now at 4" below pad on a 18' Sprint 276, the Shooter ran faster than ever at 63 mph, 5400 rpm. Shooter 4 blade props are older technology slow hole shot vs the Renegage 4 blade which replaced them. I'm pretty sold on Raker props for OMC. And I am 3.5" below pad with a 4" Jackplate, these Stratos 201's have a built in set back of 12" from the pad without a jackplate.
