OK I am running a pair of E-Rude XP200's with 250 hrs and it cam with 29 SRX's and it launches poorly and want some ideas.

I want to be able to pull a skier if needed.

The simple truth is, the RXT propeller that Don Hendrich developed is a very fast propeller. I was not designed to come out of the hole, it was designed for speed.

To pull skiiers, you may need to drop down in pitch and go up in blades. You probably will lose speed with any props you put on there.

I have little experience with the Evinrude/Johnson 200 XP, but I'd guess some nice vented four blades of 15 inch diameter would be a starting point. But again, you better expect a ski prop to be at least 5 MPH slower than the RXT's....

Ron thanks for that, I was thinking a Bravo 1 but the size is the question, do you think it would be 24 or could it pull a 26

I just hate buying $1000.00 prop sets only to find out it won't pull it


Thanks again :D
