By most accounts you have two of the best props out there for your set up. Do you have solid mounts and a low water pickup? Water pressure gauge?

It sure sounds to me that your on a solid trajectory. You have a great hull, plenty of power, a couple great props, and a solid set up. I can admit to buying a ton of props because i like to try them all but i cant think of anything to suggest with yours thats gonna run better than a 30et. Maybe theres some four blade options worth trying but if your not looking to waste money, once you run it and know your speed and rpm you can use a prop slip calculator to decide what you want to try next.
im guessing your gonna love both of those propsHydrostream dreamin

Hi Steve,
I have an HST with a 200 merc (stock except reeds and tuner). I have a hydraulic 10" lift. The boat runs very well. I tried a lot of props. For cruising, carrying weight a solas scorpion is very hard to beat. Best speed I had with the srx 29. A lot of props run very well on mine. I like the hydaulic lift to get it up and running and that jack the engine up.
