22 Progression prop recommendation ?
Current set up:
1990 Progression 22 with a stock 2002 225 DFI 25”Merc 1:75 low water pick up,
10” bobs extreme hydraulic pump in the lift, sea star hydraulic steering,
two fat 1000 cca batteries port side, 12” sub tube in nose 8 lbs, 1/3 tank gas approx. 20 gallons=134 lbs.
I weigh 215lbs and wiffie115lb :
best top speed at WOT 5500… 66 MPH using a high five 13.25 x 21P … ski n tube prop.. pftt
Also tested:
13.25 X 21P 4 Blade 5500 @ 62 MPH hit rev limit plenty left
Mirage plus 27P 3 blade 5500 @ 64 MPH rpm 1000 to low had to trim way up
Mazco 29P 3 blade 5000 @ 61 MPH take off hit rev limit, jacked up rpm 500 to low
Just thought these numbers would be way better.
Already heard.. go on a diet yeah yeah ask Kevin what he recommends bla bla blahhh bolt a 250xs on it.
Objective: I would like to get the fastest top speed, yet be able to get out of the whole with 4 people.
Thought this info should already exist but I can’t find any links… if someone could share or direct,
that would be helpful too!
I'm open ears to constructive suggestions ...
What brand, prop style, size and pitch details appreciated?
Thanks for your time and consideration in advance.
