Re: PROPING MERCURY XR2

I have the same motor, 85 150 xr2, on a 17.5 fiberglass bass tracker. I use a stainless steel 21 pitch prop made by michigan company. You can buy it from cabelas. Great proformance. It comes right out of the hole goes 55mph at 6000rpms. Great for skiing, tubeing, or trolling. I also have a SS 25 prop, it comes out of the hole a little slower but it will go 62mph. Not so good for trolling, and it will drag your skier. Hope this helps. Let us know what you decided to do. Good luck.<br />CU

Not sure what a chopper prop is, it is a 3 blade stainless steal 25 pitch prop.
