It came with a 2008 Yamaha 200 HPDI VMax series 2 motor.Prop on motor is a Yamaha Saltwater Series 2. Only numbers I could find were 21T 15.At WOT it is turning 5000 rpm at a speed of 45 to 47 mph (gps). Hole shot seems to be okay. Questions are. What prop do I have (pitch,diameter,etc)? What rpm should I be turning & what mph. What prop should I run for a good hole shot & higher mph? Thanks! "It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision"

You need to hook up with Steve at fork and look at a power tech offshore blade that will put you at 5,900 rpms WFO. That will improve your holeshot and rough water handling especially with a big load Pat Goff Seadrift TX
