Prop Size sugestions

[THE g]

I have a 07 RZ2 with the 6.0 400 HP the stock prop is 13.5 X 17.5 with the normal load of 6-8 people while pulling a boarder up it is to slow. What would be the best size? I would rather get up on plain faster and give up top speed.

That just doesn't seam right you should have no problem pulling up a boarder with 400 hp and no ballast......


Can you get some one up on a ski???

I agree! An RZ2 w/ 400hp should not have ANY problem pulling up a boarder. My '07 22Ve w/ the 340hp motor pulls boarders up plenty fast.. How slow is "slow"? I would have guessed that if you gunned the 400hp motor you'd rip the boarders arms off!

Thats what I thought too I came from a 04 20V with 335 HP and it came up on plain way faster. This boat with both rear ballast tanks full and 10 people I can barely make 22 miles an hour while pulling up a 190 pound boarder.The RPM slowly climbs above 3000. The boat does have about 4 to5 MPH more top end than my old one. I am kind of alone on this as there is no more dealer here. I have never been in a 22' with anything above 335HP and that was 3 years ago when I bought my 20V. I bought the new MEFI 5 program to check out the engine and reset trouble codes. There was throttle errors and cam phase.Tige sent a new throttle and that fixed those issues. I now have no new codes as of this weeked.

I have the MP 5.7 and can pull up 2 boards at once. 400lbs total with no effort.
I am running a gear reduced v-drive with a 13.5 X 16 4 blade prop.
Something sounds off on you system.
(Your boat is heavier, and then mine by about 1,000lbs) but you also have much more horse power. I only have 340.)
