- I've also seen the Prather 215 mentioned a few times?
Not sure what to start with?
The Prather 215 is basically the same as what comes on the boat, just stainless instead of plastic. Also happens to be about the same as the Stiletto prop. The plastic MG prop actually has slightly more pitch if you measure it.
In my opinion, based on LOTs of testing... NONE of the props listed above are any "bang" at all on a stock MG... None of them have enough pitch. The 42x55 might be a little better than the rest.
The X642 you have would be a good place to start. Run it, get the boat setup and working correctly, check your temps (and relate that to how long you've run), and if everything looks really good, then there are some bigger props that will wake the boat right up. I wouldn't dive into them, however, until you have everything else working correctly.
If you get it working with the X642, then you can also pitch it up slightly by bending on it a little in the right places, but I'd save that until after you are happy with how everything else is working.
Again, as I've said here many times... the STOCK system is quite capable of being a consistant 45mph system without stressing it too hard, and near 50 if you know how to push things. Have to get everything else setup and working correctly first.
