Ayuh,..... Welcome Aboard,..... So what is this ssteel prop,..?? Pitch,..??

Due to variations of like boats, runnin' yer's to see what it's rpms are at Wot is step #1 in decidin' which prop is Best for yer boat,...

In other words, there is no single prop for any particular model/ size of hull,....

Check diam and pitch on prop body. As you have not posted achieved wot rpm as usually loaded won't know if current prop performs spot on or not on that combo. A friend of mine has same excat OB, was dealer delivered with a 14 1/4 x 17 prop pitch, once break end period ends will know for sure if that prop performs good for his requirements.

Tach that 200 as usually loaded on flat calm, no wind water cond and report back max wot rpm achieved, can go from there maximizing a prop to suit best your boating requirement.

Happy Boating
