Noob here with a 1996 230 Signiture Select Overnighter. After I got the boat it had some electronic issues that I had fixed and it ran ok ( replaced the Board). I changed out the plugs, gave it an oil change and went boating. I was not happy with the hole shot soat the end of the boating...

Thanks EricW I installed that 17pitch 4 blade SS prop and took her on a test run yesterday. Hit 46mph (gps) at 4600rpm WOT. Fantastic ( i think i could have have gotten a little higher mph and rpm with more precise trim but i get nervous at WOT so did nt want to hold it there for too long.)...

ok Thanks for all the great advice. I ordered a 15.25x17pitch 4 blade stailess prop. I am also going to search for trim tabs: 18x9 Bennett , Is what I am thinking about, they will also help me out of the hole and keep me running better in rougher water, as well as keeping the boat level when...

Thanks for input, when the gps tops me out in the mid to high 40's mph , my rpm is still below 4000, around 3600-3800. So there is room to increase with a lower pitch. I decided to be more pro-active and check sites like Mercury Marine and yes , they do not list my 1996 230 OV , but that is...

hmm, I just purchased a 230 OV 1996 with 200 hrs on it (5.7 with electronic ignition and fuel injection), mint condition. I love it. I do not know the pitch of the stainless prop on the leg, but with trimming the leg i got her up to 48 mph(my GPS and speedo were in sinq on this)( no trim tabs...

ok I went to view the Boat and it was in much better condition than i had hoped. Unfortunatley, the owner could not start and run it. New Game plan , the current Owner is taking it to a Sea Ray Dealer to put it on a scope and have a full tune up done, figgers the coil was shot. Anyways once...
