The 209 is one of my favorite Gradys. Yours looks great in that setting - best of luck with her.

Thanks y'all. I put a new stainless prop on the f200 today and im taking my dad out for a cruise tomorrow and I'm curious to see how it improves the performance. I'll let you know.

The aluminum prop that came was a 3 blade 17 pitch. The boat would only get around 38 mph and 3600 RPMs as I trimmed it up and then it wouldn't dig anymore and start spinning. I replaced it with a 17 pitch stainless Mercury Enertia 3 blade at Propgods Ken's advice. Took it out today and it averages around 42 mph and is still digging at 6000 RPMs. Much better.

They are impressive numbers. Kind of like a state of transcendental bliss when it's running great, isn't it?? Now let us know how the redfish are biting.
