AntonRx Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Well, I was told it would be on back order x 4-6 weeks; Look what came in the mail after only 4 days!! Can't wait to try it out. So sick of the porpoising and cavitation on turns. This is a PTR4 R18 (13.5" DIAMETER WITH 18" PITCH) Thanks to Marcus @ PT for the help as usual! I'll report back as to my numbers/handling... now, if I can only find the right cotter pin..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HewesYourDaddy Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I'm running the same prop in a 20" pitch on my 1900T with a Zuke 140. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonRx Posted August 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Update. Did some speed runs/sea trials these past 2 weeks. Spinning the motor a little too fast at full load. Just exchanged for the same prop with 19” pitch. Should be the sweet spot. I’ll report back soon. I found that the porpoise is back when I have people flanking me on either side of the console now. Marcus at PT said it’s all about weight distribution and to try getting more weight up front. I’ll try that next run as well. would a jack plate help or hurt porpoise? Moving the engine aft 6” would create longer/more weight forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I had a 2008 with a jack plate. It was a real challenge propping it. Marcus and I spent about six months fooling around with it. I would not do a jack plate on that boat. It makes the porpoise much worse. Get as much weight forward as you can as well. The more you do the better the boat ran. If you have any batteries in the back move them. What we did is way to long for this post. Shoot me a pm if you want. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookem20 Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I have the 2000v with a F115 and it still wants to porpoise sometimes. I have a 4 blade powetech prop and it did help a lot with the porpoising and it never slips in turns. Great props. Batteries in the console. I just give it a touch of tabs down and it stops the porpoising. Would love to know the top speed with the 140 as I am looking to repower soon.

With 2 men, fuel, and cooler full of ice I can eek out 43mph in the right conditions. The 1900T is a much slower hull than the V models. I would imagine you could get in the mid 40s in your 2000V, if not faster with the proper trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foulhook Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Is Marcus the guy to ask for a prop recommendation? I've never been a prop guy but need a better option than the 3 blade I have on my 22TE with 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus put me on the exact prop I needed for my 1900T, even though he had never propped my boat/motor combination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
