It's hard to imagine that's the right prop for river cruising. It will probably pull pretty hard when you hit the gas.
I can't give you any insight into what numbers to expect but it will be wild. Congratulations on a great boat.
Came over to the dark side. Bought a very clean 1992 20' stoker with a 1993 merc 2.5 260hp motor.Boat was from around the parker area. Its white with reds and grey's. What kind of performance should I see with this thing? Its got hydraulic steering and a manual adjustable jack plate. Got a 24 pitch lightning et on it? Ill try to get some pics...Thanks

Thanks guys....Im picking up this morning in havasu. leaving now...
Nice Boat. How high you run you motor is directly related to the water PSI you generate. I would recommend running it even with the bottom of the boat to start with. Watch your water PSI guage and run no less than 10-12 PSI of water at high speed. FYI, when cruising, you won't generate any more than 5-7 PSI which is normal.
With a 24" prop, you will get better acceleration but the top end will suffer. My guess is a 26" ET would be a great all around prop with enough bottom end and plenty of top end to get you into the low to mid 90's.
Best of luck and enjoy.
Nice boat and congrats. We need a Stoker Regatta
