Default Prop advice for F250 on a 23 CC

I had twin 200 mercury efi's on my 23 seacraft. They sucked down way too much fuel, and the boat was almost too fast. The hull is a 1972, it has been rebuilt and I feel like it probably put on a few lbs during the rebuild

I have bought a yamaha 250 fourstroke to put on the boat. The boat does have a bracket. I have a Yamaha saltwater series 19 pitch prop, but I feel like that is probably too much prop for the operation. Thanks.

I ran a 13 3/4 X 19" stainless prop on the 23' CC that I had with a Yamaha 250 2stroke and it was a good match for the boat

I have a 250 Suzuki 4stroke on my 23 sceptre and run a 16x18.5 ss prop.Perfect match.
I think you should be ok with the 19
