Hi all, been refitting my boat for a year or so now (She was just a beaten up hull,) i'm down to the question of which prop...
The hull is a planing hull, dory style 20ft over all with 17ft in the water..beam is 10ft.
she weighs about 2tonne (not sure what to put for fuel and four people)
and i've got a mercruiser 200MR 5L 89' in her
(rpm 4200-4600..stamped on side of engine) with a alpha leg (1.65:1 )
Been on a couple online calculation sites but getting different results 15" to 16" diam and 17" to 19" pitch with speeds of around 35 knots...does this sound right?
Many thanks Paul
