I recently purchased an 02 200 BR. It came with a 19p Vengeance prop. I am looking to purchase a 5 bladed prop and keep the Vengeance as a backup.
Now the question is, what pitch to get? I have an Alpha 1 drive and a 5.0 MPI engine.
I am in Montana and boat at elevations of around 3,500 feet. We will have 2 adults and 2 small kids and don't really like high end speeds. When we tube we usually try to keep the speed just fast enough to stay on plane with the little ones on the tube. We usually cruise around enjoying the scenery at mid-speeds when we aren't pulling the tube.
If I just want to cruise around (25-35 mph) what is a good prop for this and keep the RPMs in a good, comfortable range doing no harm to the engine? What is the DO NOT EXCEED RPM? What is the suggested WOT if properly propped?
Suggestions? Trying different props would be great if they didn't run $500+ a pop.
Is the 5-bladed prop the way to go?
