Hi, was wondering if anyone who has a 228 with an F250 4-stroke yami is using a prop other than a 15 1/2 x 17 SSII?
I am using a 17 and it will turn 6K, but wondering if others found a better match for some reason.
Thanks J

Merc Mirage Plus 15.5 x 17....you will also need a hub kit (around $35 or so.)

These props like to run near the surface...as a result you can trim them way out...its almost like an overdrive when it kicks in. On my 226, I picked up almost 3 mph.
