I just went to the Mercury site and spec'd out a prop for an Sal****er
EF. I set up for good overall performance between a 200 and 250.

Props were identical for a 20' bass boat at roughly 3000 pounds for
hole shot, mid-range performance and top speed.

There was a one degree pitch difference in a different type of prop.

So.......horsepower rules.



I think we are on two different wavelengths, and your's is short ....
Heheheh....

Are you saying that two identical boats .....
with identical weights .....
with identical shaft gearing in the engines ....
and identical props .....

one boat has 200 hp ....
the other, 250 hp ....

both are run side by side with the engines at a steady 6000 rpm ....

That the 250 hp boat is going to be moving faster?

No Way, Hosie ..
