Prop for 212 Islander
Actually went skiing today in Northern CA in our new 212. The hole shot was not that great and I was wondering about a 4 Blade prop. We currently have a 3 blade 21 Mirage plus and the top end is around 68 with 1/2 fuel and 3 aboard. Any idea of props to try.

Wildchild212's suggestion would probably be the ideal choice for skiing purposes. The holeshot would be great...However, needless to say top speed will suffer a little.

I currently run a 23 pitch mirage plus, this prop runs me at 4750 at 65.3 on a GPS. I love the boat but We have owned it since new in 97 and it is for sale right now. The wife and I have the itch again. Imagine that huh.

if you are spinning a 21 three blade the 19 four blade should be fine for rpm. Besides do you ski at 60 plus alot not unless you are in the catalina race. who knows give it a try

Sorry Eric about how I like the boat? I love the boat, performs very well has tons of room in it and is respectfully fast. Only reson wanting a different one, want bigger and alot faster.
