[QUOTE="Wild and Free, post: 171081, member: 406"] Ask around at the dealers, most have props you can borrow or rent for trials. or try one of the prop shops like Bismarck prop works ect. I find that on the boat and or engine manufacturers web sites a lot have performance charts with different engines on specific boats and what prop performed the best with each setup. A 6200 you are not too far off so don't get too wild, how does it handle load and how does it plane out fully loaded? is it doggy or does it cavitate or blow out when you mash the throttle from down low? If it performs good all around but just has too high of rpm then keep the pitch and blades the same and go up 1/2 inch diameter. Not all props are the same either, I have identical factory yamaha props 15X15 one in black stainless and one in aluminum and both perform a lot different as the aluminum props have flex in them under heavy load where as the stainless doesn't.
