Emmett 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 I have recently purchased a 2004 Montura 200LS with a 5.0 liter 260 hp merc cruiser [very low hrs].The prop is the factory 19 aluminum with a little exhaust relief.The previous owner says he could pull over 5000 rpm while doing 54-55 mph with no passengers,and with 4 med adults his GPS indicated 49.My question is what stainless type prop and pitch should I buy since the majority of the time there will be just my wife and I and we no longer ski or tube.I have been out of boating for a few years,and the types of props have changed so much that I need advice on what to look for.My experience has mostly been in fast outboards running choppers and cleavers both over the blade and thru hub.I'm guessing a 22-24 should still keep me in the power range,but I could be way off.Any and all comments would be much appreciated. Thanks, Emmett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmett 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2016 Rip5,thanks for your response to my topic.When comparing the weight of your 204F to my LS200 it appears that my montura is 300 lbs heavier.Should I drop down in pitch to compensate for the difference in weight?
