    Looking for prop advice

    I use a bone stock 25p Trophy Plus 4 blade prop on our 2100 Pulsare with a 225 EFI Mercury. Works well all around. Gets on plane quickly, good for skiing and tubing, and has a good top end. You will need to try out different PVS plugs to get your holeshot dialed in.

    Vibration at low speed only-2012 Merc 250 Optimax PROXS on Checkmate 2012 Pulsare 2100BR turning a 24"SS, 85 hrs. Its fine at other speeds? Any ideas?

    How many holes are in the prop going around the circumference on the gear case side? I see one in the picture. Are there more? And if there are more, are they evenly spaced around the circumference?

    Do any of the blades look slightly bent on your current 3 Blade prop?

    I recommend a Trophy Plus 25 pitch for you boat. Buy it new so it is exactly how the engineers at Mercury intended. If you go that route, I can help you with the PVS plug combination. Send me a PM if you buy the new prop. There are others on this forum that can help you as well.

    If the prop is even slightly blowing out you can experience vibration at a particular RPM. I had this issue with our 2100 BR with a 225 Mercury. We run a 25 pitch Trophy Plus. Found with the right combination of PVS plugs we can do all of the skiing and tubing, boat planes in under 2 seconds...

    Look up any of the Mercury “Plus” props if you are not familiar with the PVS plugs. Such as a Trophy Plus prop

    What prop? Does the prop have the PVS plugs?

    Current Caldwell Checkmate production

    Everyone has an opinion. I love our Pulsare 2100 Bow Rider. I think for possible future hulls, a removable fiberglass bow section would be great. Basically the owner could have a long deck and a bow rider with the same boat.

    Don’t think you will find another boat with that color combo. Flashy!

    Correction to previous post. 54 feet should do the job.
