yeah 2000 or model 2000?

I've owned several Maxums... as have a stack of others on here. What do you need to know?

I have a 2006, 2000SR3. I am just looking for prop info, tips, advise. I just bought the boat and have to wait for summer to take it out.

Could do with more info. What motor has the boat got? Drive ratio? WOT RPM with current prop and pitch? do you want to use it for watersports, cruising or both?
For comparisson my boat 1900SR2 5.0 MPI 1.62 Alpha One will see 60mph trimmed right out @4975 RPM and decent hole shot with a 21 pitch turning point SS prop. A five blade prop might improve hole shot and decrease top end but my 3 blade will still pull my arms off....
Prop selection is a massive topic many many variables to consider best option would be to try a couple before you buy.

I just bought it so I do not have many details. I have a 5.0L TKS engine and a 19P REV 4 stainless prop that came off of my 1994 2000SR that I sold. I think the drive ratio 1.62.

I'd hazard a guess that the prop might be a bit low on pitch for you.... You might want to mess with it a bit.

My 94 had a 1.8something ratio so you may be correct. Do you have a recomendation?

21" Pitch x 13.5"-14" diameter Stainless would be a good starting point.

If skiiing/boarding/tubing you'll want to look at a High 5 (5 blade), for cruising go up a pitch to 23" pitch and look toward the 3-4 blades.
