I have a 20 ft Sea Ray BR. 5.7L finj rated 250 hp Mercruiser with Bravo1.
Operating weight is 3600 - 3800 lbs. .
Prop is a 19p, and reads Quicksilver 48-16316A4-19P
Owners manual says 4600 - 4800 maximum rpm rev limiter suppose to come in at 4880. Rev limited didn't come in on first run. On another run it came in intermitently. scratching my head.
At WOT its runs 5700 - 5800rpm and goes 51mph on gps.
Want a prop that gives good hole shot for ski and tubing as well as good mid range fuel economy. ALso don't want boat to over rev if we 'overstuff' the throttle by accident.
Was thinking about a 4 blade stainless based on heard of superior tractability(?).
Which prop would you reccomend? Thanks
