I've got a 97 215 ec with the 5.7L that I bought last year. The prop on the boat was a 14.5x17 alum, but I installed a 14.25x19 ss.
I like cruising just on plane at the 2500 to 3000 rpm range, but the 19p seems to slip and fall off plane once i get just under 3000 rpm. I know the 19p is what is suggested for the boat, but anybody running a different dia on the 19p? I've heard of people putting a 15.5" dia 19 ss to help.
I've also thought about going to a 4 blade for better mid range performance.
Thoughts? Comments?
