Hey thanks for looking, trying to set up a "89" xtb with a carb. Merc bridgeport, worked (bob's) lowerunit, any susgesstions as to what prop to start with or might be a good all around prop? thanks Rick

Talk to Todd at Hydromotive ; he can build a custom prop that will be a good all around prop !!!

My own best guess is a Hydromotive 27" quad 4 O/T. This will give good accelleration and top speed ( about 91 to 93 GPS ) and also good rough water performance.

I have the 14 1/2" X 30" Hoss Hyperdrive ( three blade). Good all around prop ; good top speed , bites well and does not blow out at high trim or jackplate heights.

I still have a 28" Hydromotive quad 4 O/T that is another good all around prop ---- stable and easy driving , good speed, carries load well and is a good rough water prop.

I also have had good performance from stock Mercury choppers.

The boat is a XB2002 with mod Promax 225.

There are a lot of great props out there… Mercury Chopper II’s carry weight well, the Mercury Lighting ET’s carry weight good with excellent mid acceleration and top speed without sacrificing holeshot.

Which is better "well" or "good" .
