This is a 250 EFI Merc ,may cup 18 if needed later.Feedback will help.

Makeover - U Might want to look at the Mirage in 17p with that set up it might spin a 19p maybe.

Also definitely check engine height with AV plate... These boats like to run at least 2" High on my last 23' i was running almost 3" high with the AV plate. No prop blow out and it would scoot.

Also as Shine stated... with his 250 having Trouble spinning the 19p i would say 17p.

Also u might search on Flyingfrizzle his threads. He runs a 225 merc EFI and has ran it on several boats.
