Hello Collective:
The propellers on my 263 Chase are currently 15 1/4 x 19 on my Yamaha SWS2 200hps and I've been thinking about switching them to Four Blades. I do lots of fishing and troll at around 7 knots and also do lots of family trips with 6 or more people on board around the island of Roatan. I normally cruise with my current props at around 30 knots at about 3800-4300 rpm with a full load. I'm more interested in fuel economy versus top end speed. Can anyone suggest a good blade size/pitch combination based on this information?
Thanks in Advance
Aaron

PS IF anyone has a 2000 (+/-) Bimini 306 for sale PM me.

A set of Mercury Rev-4's [17" pitch] and raise the Engines up a bit.
