Default Prop Choice

Hi
I am in the process of re- powering Seacraft 23 with Armstrong transom with Yamaha 2007 4 stroke 245 HP. Can I ask advice on the correct prop choice for this set up.

Thanks Chris

It would be nice to be able borrow either of them so you get closer before getting serious - seems like it should swing a 19 but hard to be sure

The 23'cc that I used to own had a Armstrong bracket and both a 225 and then a 250hp 2 stroke Yamaha.They both turned a 13 3/4 X 19 stainless prop very well turning 5200-5400 rpms.

i believe i am turning a 17 on a 76 23 cc armstrong floatation bracket, 2003 225 four stroke , no bottom paint 6100 rpm,44mph (yami guage) 1/2 tank ,one person. I will double check next time i launch the pitch, i have only had this one several months and was happy with what it was turning so i did not even look after i got it. It is a little slow out of the hole compared to my other 23 that had a 200 stroke on a notch transom turning a 17.

Thanks Guys for all the advice - taken a 19 x 13 1/2 and its just fine. I will fit trim tabs over the winter (also thanks to earlier advice) any recommendations?
Thanks - Chris
