what prop to run

[hydrostream300]

i have a vector with a built 2. 4 200 motor has tightened heads reeds bigger carbs velocity stacks bobs exhaust tunner exhaust and intake ports have been opened up and vortec pistons with stronger rod bolts n rods and low water pick up i was wondering what prop would b best to use for top end boat also has a 4" jackplate on it and im running the prop shaft ½" below the pad

With 1.87 stock gears I would put a 30p cleaver on it for top end runs. Should get close to 7000r's and 90 mph maybe. If the boat is lite. If more mid and bottom end is wanted use a chopper or lightning 28p jm3cts

i forgot to say it has 2ta1 gears in the lower unit im running a 29p stelleto with a double cup to break it in right now and was just wondering what would b about the right prop before i go out and start buying props cuz that would get kinda expensive lol

[XstreamVking]

Be a little tougher to prop with 2 to 1s Probably same props and be ready to run 7500 rs. Just a guess......What are the r's now? With a 29p

[hydrostream300]

the most i ran so far was 6500 and it was still pullin hard but i backed out because im still breakin it in im only on my 2ond tank my next tank im going to see what it got

Top End only you will lose all your mid and low end. Cleavers are fast but thats it, you may turn 5grand just to get on top. Just me-- to take the lift out of the prop you can come up on the engine height, maybe even or higher and go with a small hub wheel hoss triton, mazco, ET 3- blade these should be within a few mph of each other. Merc. 200 should turn a 28, 30 would be alot even for a light Vector. Should run a good 85 gps, please be careful and have fun.

Sounds like the prop you have might be the right one - maybe see how it performs before buying more props?

[hydrostream300]

it is a good prop that i have now i had it on my 2. 5 150 n it turned 7000 wit it n my top end was around 78

[hydrostream300]

but i think it gives me 2much bow lift fun but gets scary sumtimes lolz

Stelleto is not the prop for a Vector running over 70 you know hydrostreams will stand straight up and blow over, sometimes standup and then stuff taken a bunch of water over the bow at high speed is not fun. Agree with XViking on a chopper, lighting or any small or no hub wheels they don't have much if any lift and set up right you can flyit right off the line and feel comfortable. You know 85 or 90 mph can be fun if your set up right, but to much wheel in the water on a light boat with 200 hp can be a hand full.

yep i sure do know that and im trying to stay as far away from that i got 2much money in my boat for it to stand up n crash so ive been looking for a 29r30p chopper r cleaver but im not having any luck with it

my buddy has a vector with a modvp 2.4 on it he ran high 80s with a 14.5 32clever at 6800, prob be in the 90s if he tried a 14.5 30cleaver.
