I have a 2001 212 Limited with a 5.7 350 MAG Alpha 1 Mercruiser with a 23Pitch High Five Stainless steel prop, and I get 60MPH @ WOP . That is however before I added the wakeboard tower and the speakers and Bimini top. I now get between 56 & 58MPH @ WOP with 21 Pitch Stainless steel prop with 4 people in the boat & 2 coolers, depending on how choppy the ocean is that day LOL.. I also have a 19 pitch SS Prop that I use when wakeboarding for slower speeds and higher RPM's.. Hope this helps you. PS. I also live at a really low altitude so that may be a difference but I am not sure. Good Luck & let us know what you decide to put in it.:wink_thumbup:
