Prop Question

[blk88notch]

Ok, so I'm fairly new to this (changing prop pitches) and have a question. I have a 2007 195 Sport 4.3 MPI (220hp) and am currently running a 19p Vengeance prop. The boat hits the revlimiter at about half throttle, which tells me I need a bigger prop. I found a Michigan Wheel Stainless Steel Apollo XHS Prop 4-blade 22p prop for a reasonable price. I am wondering if anyone else has ran this prop or have any experience with 4-blades. Will I notice a big difference going to the 4-blade 22p prop? Any help would be appreciated!

I had a 2003 Larson LXI 190 from 2004-2009 and it had the Volvo 4.3 GXi (225 HP) engine. I am not sure what the gear ratio was? But it came with a 19P prop. I initially put a 3-Blade 23P SSTL prop on it that I had already. It got the boat up to 62 MPH but the hole shot sucked. 62 was too fast for that boat anyway...serious chine-walking. Sooooo, I sold it on fleebay and bought a 4-blade 22P SSTL prop and it was absolutely perfect! Awesome holeshot and I still hit the upper 50's (58-60) on smooth water.

Thanks for the reply! That sounds like what I'm looking for then!

I just posted something on another thread that may help you...

Also, I'm selling my Apollo XHS 14.125"x20P SS 4 Blade if interested. Pitch seemed a little high for my 3.0L, but may be perfect for your 4.3L.

Good Luck!
