This is an endless conversation by most people in the bass boat arena. There is no simple one answer. This all varies with your load and your particular set up. Some boats just run differently and what you are all 3 after is a particular desired performance, which might actually be a different desire for each of you.Look below at the bottom for 200 OPti..Our best choice would be a 26 or 27 Tempest as this hull tends to like a Tempest propeller for most. Though that would change depending on what you use you boat for and how they perform on your set up. Engine height, load and other factors change this to where there is no one set up past the stock recommendations. Cutting to the chase, each of you should be able to go tot he water and run your boat with a loa dnad determine which height and propeller you actually prefer. There are too many variables to give more of a canned answer than to go witha Tempest to start with. This has worked well for most and obvisouly each of you have other thoughts. Now for a 200 Opti on a Pantera Classic, we would suggest a 25 or 26 Trophy and vary the PVS plugs to determine where the best hole shot is. Good Luck,BCB
