Fastfish Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 I have a new to me 2007 2200xl F150 25” shaft bobs jack plate no Ttop Current prop is a 3 blade yamaha reliance 19p. It’s a dog. Out of the hold slow and max rpm is 5200 and top speed barely 40mph. Borrowed the same prop in a 17p and got it up to 5700rpm and 43mph. What do you guys recommend on this setup? Power tech options that would get me higher revs and higher speed and out of the hole quicker? OFX4 or OFX3 maybe? Which pitch? Yes a 250hp will be in the future but probably not for another year or so. So best prop I can get for this F150 setup would be appreciated.

redzone1 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 You probably won’t be able to get much better performance out of that motor going to a different brand 17p. That’s a lot of boat for that 150 to get moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzone1 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 A slightly different boat and set up, but this is what HOBO said he was getting- “ended up with a Yamaha Reliance Series 17-M 14-1/4, 3-blade, stainless steel prop... It pushes my 22' TE Pathfinder 45 mph while turning 6,000 rpm... It got 4.7 mpg” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastfish Posted October 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Thanks. Still looking for a reliance but kind of hard to come by a 17 pic THC for anything reasonable. Anyone with numbers on the same setup with the power tech OFX4 or OFX3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeviam Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 If the Reliance 14.25 x 17 pitch is out of stock, you could try a Michigan Apollo 14.25 x 17 pitch. Same size 3-blade. Not sure about available stock, but here's a link to one at a good price: https://www.getaprop.com/michigan-apollo-3-propeller-yamaha-150-300-hp Or, if you want to search for one, you'll need: 14-1/4 R 17 Part # 993043 Use XHS II® Hub Kit 203 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastfish Posted October 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Thanks I’ll take a look 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OFX props are 15.25" diameter. I would be surprised if your motor could spin one near the 5800-6000 RPM maximum you are looking for, unless you reduce pitch.

fishmanjj Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I run a Power Tech OFX -17-4 on a 2009 2200XL with F150 and she will turn 5800 and will be running around 45 mph. The four blade has good stern lift and the boat handles very nice. It was faster on top end with PT 19 -3 semi clever , however I like the stern lift that the 4 blade delivers. My normal operating range is around 3600 rpm and that’s about 32 mph. I rarely have conditions that allow wide open throttle running. Good luck on prop search. If you chose Power Tech , call them directly and ask for Marcus. ( funky monkey on this forum ). He is the best with matching props to Pathfinders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it did take about 5 Props to finally get it right. The Yamaha prop that was on it initially would only turn 5000 rpm. Marcus at PowerTech sent me a 19” 3 blade and a 16” 4 blade. The 3 blade was a semi clever and it ran great but had some porpoising issues. The 16” 4 blade did well, but it could turn 6000 rpm and more if trimmed and pushed. I tried a few other props that friends had...meanwhile Marcus found me a 17” 4 blade and it worked perfectly. I do not have a jack plate or a T Top. I’m not too much into full speed running....the 4 blade lifts the stern up , no porpoising and I’ve ran it now for about 10 years.
