2003 Caravelle 207 (open bow runabout)
20.5'
2900 lbs dry
350 Mercruiser MPI mag 5.7L 300 HP (100% stock)
Bravo 1 (1.5 ratio)
Props tried
Cheapo aluminum 4 blade Solas 14.25 x 19: 53 MPH @ 5000-5200 RPM
4 blade stainless 14 x 23: 50 MPH @ 4000-4200
The Mercury prop calculator recommends the following. Can anyone speak from experience on a boat with a 350 Mag of this weight and hull configuration which prop would be the best? The performance goal is 60 MPH. I don't even need to stick with a Mercury prop if something else out there is better/optimum.
