I agree completely. A majority of our time will be spent cruising and pulling wakeboarders and kneeboarders. Thanks for the information.We enjoy it. Don’t go WOT all that often. Prefer to cruise around 25-35

@ 5900 ,Mercury has told me 6300-6400 is optimum @ W.O.T.52 MPH at what RPMs?
The 17 pitch prop should get your RPM higher and still be w/I the recommended operating range. I believe that will improve both performance and fuel economy. 5900 RPM is at the low end.I have been having the changing prop bug also ,when I bought the 23 RSB /350 Verado they had it sitting in the top hole (Motor Up) I had them immediately lower before I even took delivery ,from reading on this board it was way too high. so didn't even test ,originally came with a Enertia 19P was getting 52 and felt it still had some room to grow . I spoke Bennington unfortunately they couldn't help so then spoke with a "prop guy" about what direction to go because everyone was running the Enertia 17 ,he recommended the Enertia Eco ,so I bit the bullet and purchased one ,I've run it for quite sometime and can say ,it definitely gets you up out of hole quick but I've lost 2mph on the top end , I came across a smoking deal on a 17P Enertia ,its sitting in the box waiting for it's testing day
