Default I'm trying to understand propellers

No, you are wrong. You do not understand. Read it again. You to M.

The OP stated that WEIGHT of the boats is different, so top speed is
different too.


I don't believe that is true. The assumption was, as I remember it,
that the weight difference between the 200 and 250 hp engines was not
that great, if any.


Interesting discussion. As I understand it; there are two identical boats,
one powered with a 200 hp motor, and one with 250 hp. There's
disagreement as to which boat would provide better acceleration and higher
top end speed. With the appropriate prop the 250 will accelerate faster
and have a higher top speed; what the hell is the argument about?
