Are you sure that it is a 26 pitch? That is a lot of prop for a smaller motor.

5250 RPMs is pretty close to where you should be running, actually it's a few hundred RPMs lower than where I would want to be. How good is your holeshot? I am running a 25 pitch Temptes on a 21 foot Triton with a 225 Etec H.O. I am turning it to about 6200 RPMs which is a little high but what I am getting at is a 26 pitch prop is a popular prop size for motors in the 225-250 HP range.

Regardless I can't help you with finding the prop your after. I was just curious about why you were running such a big prop on a fairly small motor. Good luck in your search.

25 P tro4 will let it get on plane and run tad more rpms but not much,its a 4 blade short ears,trophy would do about the same.

12x12 seems to be the big prob. Im thinking with the biger faster bass boats now days noone has under 13 props and none are high enough pitch if thay are. If anyone has a 93/94 nitro or knows who makes them msg me.

Its not 12x 12 that matters much that like length of blade,12.13 3/4, 14, 15 larger eared will rpm less and shorter ones more
Its pitch thats more important and that is a tad to large for a 125 hp at 26 p
normal one would have like a 22 -23 p,26p 150-200 hp
One would link a larger than 12 in blade in a 22 or short eared in a 23, 24,single load no passengers maybe a 25 for a top end run,with 1/4 tank of gas and no gear,your not racing I presume.
That 26 would do me nicely as a fishing prop as have a 1000 lb boat and 150 hp(rated 165),23- 24 p trophy not a 26p lazer or get another 75 hp
If you ask a dealer what he would place on it most likly he would say 23 p trophy,and just because it will rpm higher does not mean you have to run it there,most motors between 5200 and 5600 will last a lot longer,but has to actually in the band with not under it.
