Ok through experimenting with different props, I have settled on two...a very clean LaserII 19P I stumbled across for $100. I know there are better props out there but these are proven and its at the right price. I also came across a like new Merc through hub 21P cleaver for $65 (cheap) and have been contemplating buying it for a summer/calm water prop. I have realized through experimentation that I do not need bow lift in a prop on a 19.5' boat with 200 on the back, but rather something with more slip since I have my cavitation plate only an inch above the hull bottom. I am reluctant to raise my engine because I do run it a lot in open ocean and make hard turns while dropping and picking up freedivers when spearing soit needs to hold in a tight turn.
Next question: Yamaha Ring Free? Yes/No, Continuous or Shock treatment? What are your thoughts?
