Hello,
New to me 2005 200 Sport owner here. Mine has the 220HP 4.3MPI and Alpha 1 with 1.62 gearing. The boat came with a 21P High 5 from the PO. Apparently, the stock prop was stolen and this was available.
Anyway, with two of us in the boat and 1/4 tank of fuel, we can easily run at 48MPH @ 4800 WOT. However, with 6-7 the WOT is limited to 4K and it takes a bit to get on plane. While we won't always be this heavy, I think I need a prop more suited for the weight. The local dealer suggested sticking with the H5 but dropping to a 19P.
What do you guys think? Any experience with a similar setup?
Thanks. Scott
