A 27 P prop is a LOT of wheel for a 250 Pro XS to swing, let alone a 225. If you are looking for a prop to run in big water for more bite, since you can run big on top end anyway, Id look for a 24 or 25 Trophy, or in my personal opinion, a 25 P High Five. There NO better prop for quick hole shot and holding bite in rough water than the High Five. You will give up top end, but if you are in water rough enough to worry about this issue, top end is not on the agenda.Mike Whitten/Germantown, TN
