Which prop to use for a 1985 Hydrostream Valero
I need help figuring out which prop to use for my 1985 Hydrostream Valero v bottom boat. I have a Mercury 150 pro max rigged to it. I have just been using a standard 25P quicksilver prop and I'm getting around 62 mph and 6500 rpm's. The boat chyna walks around top speed so I don't need anymore bow lift. I think I need some sort of chopper prop but not sure which pitch to start with or what style of chopper prop I need. Any suggestions would help!

You have to learn to control the chine walk. Do you have solid mounts and a foot throttle?

Thanks. I haven't heard of them but I will try and look them up. What pitch would you suggest if I'm only getting 5200 rpm's on a 25 pitch standard prop.

post a pic showing the side of your lower unit in relation to the bottom of your hull , when you say "even" your prop shaft centre line should be even with the bottom of the hull pad when trimmed so its parallel. Post a pic and more help will come.
