Montereyjoe282 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2013 This is my first season with my 2001 282 cruiser w/twin 5.0L 220HP small block V8's. The boat came with stainless 17" p props but they seem to be too aggressive as it is very difficult to get up on plan with full tanks and a couple guests (no cavitating but engines won't go above 3200 rpm).... once on plane the WOT is 4200 which is on the low side of the range. Can anyone with these engines shed some light on what they are using for wheels...was thinking of going with ss 15" p, 14.3 d props but it's a buy it and own it senario once they are purchased...Thanks for any advise.

Rip5 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2013 You neglected to mention what sterndrives you have. Volvo or Mercruiser. that will make a difference in what props to recommend. If it is Alpha 1 or Sx sterndrives, high probability you should have had 14.25 x 19p 3 blades on that boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
