30p Chopper 2 on a XB2002
Has anyone ever run a chopper 2 on a XB02? I just bought one and wanting to know how people like them. I have run several props, from (26-30 pitch) ET's to offshore cut to big ear choppers and Mazco's. Where's this thing going to fall in at? Its a 30 pitch and Im running a mild 225pm, sport master and the prop shaft is 3/8" above the pad.
Personally I like the bigger ears, I like the bow lift when cruising around and it still has good hole shot for a 30 on a loaded boat. Any insight would be great.
Thanks,ALLISON XB2002

I Ran One On Just About Your Exact Set-Up...Except For The Motor...Ran O.K. But, Had Just A Tad To Much Bow Lift For My Liking IF I Didn't Have The Trolling Motor On It..Which Is Most Of The Time...I Had Rich Junker At Leading Edge Propeller Cut It To His Modified Drag Cut And It Does About Everything Great! Better Hole Shot, Quite A Bit Faster, And Cruses Much Better. Carries Weight About The Same. The Chopper Ran O.K. And, If Someone "Tuned" It For Your Boat, It Should Run Very Good In Mostly Stock Condition. Just My $.02......

Thanks for the input Corona Mike. Im curious to give it a try then I'll make a decision if I want it cut/modified. I havent had good luck with cut props though.
Any others run one of these? Or have a prop you really liked on your XB02?
Dont know about ya'll but Im ready for boating weather!ALLISON XB2002

Ran a 99XB02/ modified 225 promax 12"offset SM lower Chopper2 30p worked great JMO Big ear will Fly the Bow I increase transom height, this will reduce lift. Everyday Prop worked 26ET , Top End the 30p chopper2 Got good numbers Better than most I ran. It is a Big Ear it will Fly the 02.
