Re: what prop on viper
I would bet a chopper would be a good starting point. They are cheap and plentiful used so you can try a couple different pitches.

That would be a good starting point. If you are looking for top end you will want to go higher, but that would be a good all around pitch.

Re: what prop on viper
I can't remember what the gear ratio is but that should put you in the mid to upper 60's.

Re: what prop on viper
Welcome Wildone, that 175 should turn a 26 easily, Tell us more about your set up though. Got... jackplate, low water pick up, etc? This will determine which prop also.
BTW is this boat new to you? If it is , think safety.
again, welcome
