1981 Hydra Sport 2100 CC Prop- Suggestions wanted

[Fletch170]

Running a 1996 225 Merc offshore Carb.

The boat is a true 21 feet, with an 8 foot beam. I BELIEVE, it's 22 degrees of deadrise at the stern. With motor, fuel and gear, she is coming in around 3400 pounds. SO, not the lightest 21 out there.

I have decided on a 3 Blade Stainless Prop.

I'm looking for a good "All around" prop, but I'd like to "keep up" in a drag race down the bay to the inlet:)

Of the following, what would you suggest:

14x19

14 3/4 X19

14x21

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Of the choices, my vote would be the 14x19, better hole shot and good top end, especially if it's a 4 blade.

[Fletch170]

Thank ya sir! Your opinion matches that of Mercury:)

Ugh,

So I threw someone on ebay an absurd offer for a (almost) new Quicksilver Mirage Prop that is 21" Pitch, and 14 3/4 diameter......they took it.

Might be over propped here:) However, might be fast as all hell:)

No problem Christian, a little Nitro under the cowling for the hole shot and it's all good!!  :twisted:  :twisted: Once you get that freight train moving she will go...

[Fletch170]

I hope it's not that bad.... Otherwise, I'm swapping it out asap. However, with the 225 2 stroke, it should have some pretty good grunt.

Fletch - you can bob the blades on that 21 by a half inch and maybe get about what you want.    

But - that 3 liter Merc deuce and a quarter might just pull it - and wide open would be around 50...   :twisted:

Here's the prop I'm running on my CCP at a deal on eBay - best I've run:

Good luck!
