Thanks for having me on the site!
I have a 1999 Aquasport 245 Explorer Cuddy deep V. Dry weight of the boat is 4300. Just bought a 2012 Yamaha F250 3.3L. I am replacing a 1999 Johnson 225 Ocean Pro. Need some advice of the first prop to try. I was thinking a 15 1/2 by 17 or 19 pitch? I was leaning towards a 17 pitch. I just want to be able to come on plane without "plowing or struggling". I understand that my hole shot won't be as good with the Yamaha as it was with the Johnson.
My current prop on the 225 Ocean Pro is a 17 pitch. My cruise is 30 mph at around 4000 rpm's. I know that doesn't help but looking for some advice.
Thanks in advance!
John
