deer creek in my new boat

I have three props in different pitches, but now a days I'm to lazy to switch them out. i just stuck with a 4 blade 19 stainless on a 200 yamaha.

Side note. 4 strokes just don't have get up and go like a 2 stroke. (all torque). I used to run a 5 blade 22 pitch "High 5" prop on my old merc 150 2 stroke. it used to do 52 mph in a fiberglass 20 footer.
But what I love with my 4 stroke yamay, is we can carry on a normal conversation at full trottle.

I'm operating a Yamaha F150 4stroke, no its not just a Berry boat. It came with a stainless prop and I replaced it with another stainless prop to what works well for me, a 15P. My previous boat I replaced prop from a 19P to a 17P, it was ok but needed to be lowered another notch. If I were to use my 15P at low elevations caution would come into play paying close attention to rpm. As I stated I don't run WOT but do have the power to run across any lake here keeping around 5000rpm or little less. This is better for most motors to throttle back unless of course your a bass guy going across the lake with your hair on fire. Dodgy
