Hello,

I bought a 24ft Voyager, i'm putting a 250hp OX66 on it but it doesn't have a prop, can someone with the same combo recommend a prop size.
And if you can let me know cruise/top speed with this set up too please.

Thanks,

Cam

Grady customer service might be able to tell you too.
I would strongly suggest considering a 4 blade if you regularly haul more than 2 adults. I still need to move my engine up one hole to see if this eliminates my porpoising and bow high running angle. If it doesn't help, prop gods and others suggested a 4 blade. Let us know how it works out.

I concur with the comments above.

When we purchased our 2002 Islander 270 (new), it had a single 250HP OX66. I tried a lot of props, working with a local prop shop, and the best overall was the PowerTech OFS4, a four-blade prop, in 17" pitch.

While your boat is a bit smaller, I think that would be a good choice. If you rev too high with it, a prop shop can add a bit of cup, or make a slight pitch adjustment, as needed.
