Hey ya'll... would like to hear what props you guys with SV2100 and 150's are running, and what performance/problems are you having.
I have a 17 pitch Mirage Plus on my Verado 150. Performance seems average, and I'm looking to improve it. Perhaps a 4-blade prop or Enertia.
Chime in

My sv2100/175 Verado came with the 17p Mirage. At the time I assumed Sea Pro knew which prop was best since they are both Brunswick companies. Meanwhile, I really haven't had any real issues, although I know some have replaced the Mirage with an Enertia to get rid of the "clunk". But with $4 gas I'm looking for the best mileage I can get. Does anyone that re-propped a sv2100/175 Verado have any info on gas mileage?

jp,
That's interesting that yours came with the 18p Mirage. I assumed SeaPro propped all the sv2100's with the same one from the factory unless the buyer ordered something else. Mine is a 2007 purchased in July of '06 right after the '07 came out. I'm wondering if SeaPro changed props since then. I think I read that your's will run 48mph fully loaded with 3 people, full bait tank, etc. I haven't had mine at WOT since I was first breaking it in so I don't really remember what she will do fully loaded. I think it's 40mph, so I'm really interested in your input.

yessir...I'm still curiouse what she'll do w/ just me and a 1/4 tank...... I have to assume that she will break the 50 mark...maybe a hair or two more..... I cant remember if I read it right, but I think the 08' sv2100 might be a little longer than the previous years.....don't quote me on that one, but mine is 21' 8".....do you know the exact length of your boat baklash? It also may have been a dealer thing, these guys that I bought the boat from have been around for awhile and have always been the only sea pro dealer that I know of anwhere around, so maybe he just knows what runs best for that motor/hull and orders them from the fact. that way?  I dunno..... I don't run WOT much at all on an average day, but it sure is nice when you need it. And I would check into another prop if you get another 8 mph out of her.....but then again if you are happy w/ that speed then there's no need to drop another 500 bones for another wheel ya know..... Also, I get great hole shot w/ that prop too, so it's not like I'm lacking in the other areas for the increase in speed..... hmmm..... |

This thread has just about made me think that I should change my prop as I have stated in another thread. JP Ask your dealer about my prop too I run asea-Pro 190DC with a Yamaha 115 and have everything imaginable on my hole in the water. It runs pretty good with the porp I have but I think it could be improved. Also wonder what it would do at idle as I troll a lot at idle. Actually most of the time on the local lake. My boat runs 40MPH with two people and full gas tank plus equipment. Used to run that with 6 people but took it to the dealer and had the carbs overhauled and it changed real quick. I had a litle gumming problem. ED

allright, sure will ej...
I know on my old 19 bayboat w/ the f115, I had a stock yammy 'ss' (black in color) prop that was a 19, 3 blade.....the boat was 8' 6" wide....but that prop would take forever to get her up and out....and top end w/ just me would barely break 40 on gps. With 3 people and loaded to the max I was lucky to see mid 30's in perfect conditions....Some people w/ heavier hulls were telling me they were getting mid 40's loaded down....so i dunno.

I checked my WOT with gps yesterday and with an aluminum 13 1/4 X 17p I got 35.8 to 36 mph. with four people and 3/4 tank gas. I am sure that can be improved with another prop. ED

I have the 17P Mirage on mine and I was thinking the same thing. Performance is good, but I could do better. I might go to the 4 blade 19P Vensura based on this discussion. What diameter are you guys running on the 19P Vensura? If I remamber correctly those come in a 14 & a 14 1/2.

warpig, I changed my prop to a stainless 19P and picked up almost 10 MPH. I got mine on e-bay and I waited until I got a really good deal, less than half of a prop from a dealer. It made a big difference on my DC190. I think that Sea Pro dealers or the factory put on the cheapest prop they could find and everyone that I have had contact with, that changed, has had about the same outcome. I don't know why they under-propped, what seems to me, all of them.<`)>((((< ED

They have a forum that really helped me out on previous projects. Ken at PG really knows his stuff. If you contact them, be sure to know what RPM's you are turning @ WOT. |

Can we get this thread back to life, as I would love to not spend 15000 bucks reproping my boat...  Any suggestions on the gen1 verado200 on a sv2100. I have a 15 mirage, and top at 42mph. I think I should be getting near 50 honestly. |

How many RPMs are you at wide open throttle?

Yeah, You need to know WOT, trimmed out RPMs so you don't over prop and bog the motor. I was turning a little over 6000 with a 225 Mercury 4 stroke( Yamaha built) 21P Michagan Apollo wheel running 52 mph. The stock 19P Mercury wheel was turning roughly the same rpms but topped out at 49 mph. You do have the 6 cylinder 200 V-rod right? I would think your boat should be running mid to upper 40's "properly" propped. My 2 cents.

I think I should be at lease in the mid 40's.. I don't know enough about the different Mercury props to give a good answer. I would want to be turning more rpms than that at WOT myself. Maybe try a smaller diameter prop with a 19P and see what it does? Ask Ken at Propgods and see what he has to say. |

I dunno.....
