ribeye 785s prop size?

wellhouse · 26 July 2017, 06:36

I've got a Ribeye 785s and just changed engine size to a 225hp. What size props are people using with a 225hp on their ribeye and what sort of speeds/rpm are you getting? Any help appreciated.

no 785 owners out there? forgot to mention it was a honda but any info before i buy a prop would be handy.

Suggest a trawl through the 'how fast is your rib' post, or possibly re-post to invite all boats of that length rather than having narrowed down to ribeye
My guesstimate is 21" & 44kts with 2 people

Cheers - i did trawl through the 'how fast is your rib' post and couldn't really get too much from it. You're probably right about ribs with similar lengths and 225hp engines. I've not had too much joy talking to honda dealers, i'm getting too much variation in prop sizes to be happy to buy one, with no return, in case it's way out but thanks again.
