Let me splane. I assume that the op was talking about getting a new 200 four stroke. You say you have a hpdi(2 stroke?). One of the first things I noticed when I went from the 225 2 stroke to 4 stroke was that they were geared different. The four stroke was turning more rpms for the same cruising speed.
The problem was, at wot the four stroke would only turn about 5300 rpms with a light load. As I understand it, the four should turn 5500-6000 with full load. I elected to go with a four blade 15" pitch that got me about 6100 with light load. It does seem a little under propped, but I would rather it turn a little free. Its got nothing to do with the mechanic.
