My boat is 1997 205 Sundowner with 5.7LXi Engine.
Thinking of buying a 4 Bladed Stainless Steel Prop.

Which one should I buy.

Cheers

that depends on what you are planning to do with the boat like tubing, skiing, etc.... do you keep it full of gas all the time, how many people on average on the boat, how much gear.... and what do you need out of it? fast planing, or top speed?
lots of variables man

Thanks for the reply,
The prop fitted is 14.5 x 19 3 blade
Would like more top speed

Cheers

with that engine/boat combo, you could go with a 21pitch 4 blade and see an increase in top speed without much sacrifice with your hole shot.
Whats your top speed now?

Only had the boat since Friday and took it out on the sea Saturday & Sunday so still trying to get the best out of her.
I have trim tabs fitted and never had them before so not sure how to use them.
My top speed was 45mph
What make of prop would you recommend.


Cheers

I use a lot of Solas props on the jet skis that we work on and I did use Solas Aluminum props on my Sundowner they we fine but I didnt use any stainless props on that boat.
as far as the trim tabs I use mine fully deployed till I get on plane then I retract them. I will drop one to stop any list from passengers.
