What does everyone with a 2002 or similiar Trophy run on their prop. I believe mine is at a 17, but need to double check.

The most efficient prop is the one that gets you to full recommended engine RPM at wide open throttle.. A lower pitch will give a better hole shot but will allow the engine to over rev at WOT. A higher pitch may give more top end speed but will overtax the engine. You can under pitch for skiing/tubeing but must recognize that you can't run at wide open throttle as the engine will over rev. Over pitching is not recommended in any case.

I've known to be wrong...but.... lower the pitch 17 and below will give MORE speed and higher rpm,higher 19 and above will give a better hole shot, lower planning speed and lower WOT rpm...just my experience for what it's worth. Then again your boat size,engine HP and gear ratio dictates your prop size.
