I have a 16x19P ENERTIA ECO (RH) prop that I would be willing to swap for an ECO 17P (or possibly 18P)

Long story short, I should have trusted my gut and gone with the 17.
I’m just barely hitting my WOT range and I can tell it’s a bit sluggish lower-mid range RPM’s, so I’m overpropped. At 3700 RPM the motor is barely revving, I’m going 30 knots and RPM is fluctuating (symptom of lugging/over propping) After 4000 RPM it sounds like it wants to sound, but we’re at 33kn +. Ok if it’s calm but in rough water I’m too low RPM. Max rpm is 5350, barely in range (5200-6000 for my motor)

My regular Enertia 19P hit the WOT perfect but was looking for just a bit more hole shot and fuel efficiency. The more I research now clearly an ECO 17P or even 18P was a better choice.

My ECO 19P has been used approx 50 hours and it hasn’t been dinged at all. Anyone got a 17 or 18P?

I have the enertia eco 16x17p on my Seapro 225 v8. APM set me up with that prop during the repower. Performs great out of the hole and cruising speed with great fuel economy. I can get 45mph at about 5300rpm full throttle. I wouldn’t want to go any faster than that and only do the 45mph if I want a quick adrenaline rush 😂.
I’d say your boat would be similar to mine weight wise and I think you have the same block just the 250hp vs my 225hp.

Yeah I have ordered the ECO 17P now and will try to sell the 19.
Agree I’m very similar to you and I’m sure this one will be the one.

The guys at Alberni are generally great but I’d say I’m a little bitter on this one. The pic attached is the sea trial results from my motor install (running a regular Enertia 14.5x19P). Knowing what I know now, I am not sure why they said “room for more prop” when I was at the max rpm range. I even re-asked a few months ago suggesting 17P ECO was more appropriate, but was told “I’d stick with the technicians advice, they do hundreds of sea trials” so I went with the ECO 19P. But I guess 🤷‍♂️ what can you do.

Seems a bit odd that you’re same top speed as me but you’re at 6000rpm and I’m only 5300rpm.
This whole prop game isn’t well handled by most shops. They should have test props that they use to dial your package in during sea trial. Having to buy a prop just to test each time is crazy.
 
The Enertia Eco does come in even pitches also, as well as half sizes, I've been looking at the Eco Enertia 17.5xp left and right. But its a lot of dough to tune perfect, if I was to do it again.......
