xb2003 tubing and play prop

[jcoats3]

What prop and pitch do all y'all like for summer fun. Usally 2 adults and two or three kids at time. Running a 27 hydro on a 225pm. Love it fishing and running just need some bottom end when loaded and all fuel and coolers for kids days out on water

I used a 23 trophy with my GS, looking for a reasonably priced one for My XB2003. Great hole shot and towing capabilities.

I am going to try a 21 Trophy Plus with a good bit of extra cup this year. I haven't had anybody behind the boat yet but it sure comes out good with my 240# & my 425# friend in the back seat. It still runs 77 @ 7300.

I was figuring 21 /23 pitch range. Just wondered what others have tried and works good and like.

I have a 24 xot worked for slalom deep water starts...runs slip number like a 23p. Maybe that's what the work was..it pulls,my 220 lb out on one well...ran a best of 78 at 7500 on the 2003 and so far 70 at 7000 on the xb21. If the 21 xot works well on the big boat I may try another sob or a bravo in a 23...

21 Mercury High Five. Look no further. Will pull stumps. Topend of 60 though...but for tubing, skiing and boarding on an XB2003, impossible to beat. JMHO.

dont go to small like 21. You wont like it when the kids are all done. Youll WANT to make a prop change because youll be on the limitter {stock one 6750} way before 70. 23 is probably the best comprimise maybe 24 dapending on age of kids towing> i used a 25 trophy no trouble untill my son became a brick s-it house.If there under 10 years old a 23-25. If there older and mom ,dad and friends get pulled then 23. 225 XS03

24 Trophy+ works well for our GSE...just have to watch the R's when light.

I'm thinking of having Todd cut me a knob cut out of a 24 chopper for playing. He said he can get one to snap right out of the hole. I believe it.... My 28 is SWEEEEET!!!

I have used a stock mercury prop,low pitch very easy to find and easy on the pocket book to chase ski's boards intertubes in very shallow water, easy to replace also and they pull like crazy!!

I'm a little over 200, and was pretty happy with how my 24 chopper did with 3 in the boat.

For playing/most everday I choose a 26p knob. For skiing or loaded with people, I run a 23p trophy. I'm also running a 225pm ss.
