Recently purchased a classic !977 CC Mako model 235 with a 200HP, 2stroke Yamaha V-Max.. The boat weighs 2500lbs., beam 8ft. plus an 80 gallon gas tank and the motor weight plus 2 people usually...The current prop peaks the motor at 4800rpm.. The stainless prop is marked 17M.. Yamaha said the motor should be hitting 5400-5600rpm... HELP!!!!! Thanks Hobie

were it me I would have a run up done with test wheel YB 1626. that engine should spin test wheel YB 1626 to 5300-5500 RPM.
if it can your over propped if it cannot you must fix the engine issue before attempting to prop it.
