the Boat is a 2001 rinker 242 Fiesta vee cruiser, with the merc 5.0 efi/alpha 1
neef some help selecting a new prop....was thinking 4 blade stainless. Current prop is a 15x17p the tach will climb over 5000 rpms. It does plain out ok with 2 50 lb dogs in the cabin and two adults at the helm. Calm seas I’m cruising at 3900 rpm at 25 mph. What should cruising rpm be on that motor? What would be a good prop?
