Just a guess, but I think you'll end up with a Cyclone 21 prop on that rig, but I'll leave the advice to those who are prop experts.

IF your looking for speed Raker 22, Tempest 21 If your ride quality the cylone , Powertech OFS 4 , REV4 . I've seen some 250 etec able to run 21 pitch 4 blade and some can only turn a 19 pitch 4 blade. So I'd look for a dealer that has demo props and try a couple out.

Silly me....I forgot about the Rev4...awesome prop on that set up. If you can test that one, try it for sure!

For 2011 Evinrude went to a 1.85.1 gear ratio as opposed to a 1.71.1 high speed gear ratio so I supposed that is going to change the how you are going to prop it. The 22 Raker might be better now with more people in the boat with the change in the gear ratio. The big question, will the change in gear ratio make the motor less competive then the Mercury XS Pro?
