Re: 1981 Mercury V225 on a 20 Master Angler
Bigshrimpin, I would stay with the 17" pitch, but definitely go to a Mirage, or a PowerTech 4-blade such as the UN200OFS4R17P. They're about $650 or so. If you want, PowerTech will even make you a custom prop if you give them your loaded hull weight and motor, and tell them you have a variable dead-rise SeaCraft hull. That's what I did, and only paid $770. I have a 15"x16 1/2"P UN200 series 3 blade.
The stock UN200 Offshore 4-blade right 17 Pitch should work fine. It has a 15 1/2" Pitch
On the other hand, I saw a 17"P Mirage on Ebay for $150.
