Welcome to the forum.

I would think a drag cut prop would work fine on a vking. I run a 26 yamaha drag on my viper and it's absolutely brutal out of the hole and good everywhere else. I plan on running one on my vking but that's way down the road.

[whitevking]

I kinda think it would be also. Just wish i knew for sure

[77viper]

At least with props you can get your money back. That or keep them and buy a boat for the prop, that's what I seam to be doing.

77 viper have u ever used a leading edge drag cut

[77viper]

No I have never used them but I have herd nothing but good things about them.

I can get you a new true yamaha for about $650

[whitevking]

theres a guy really close to me selling new yamaha drags for 550 but i think after talking with a few prop guys im gona stick with the mercury chopper with a few tricks done to it

[77viper]

Cool let us know who does your prop and how it turns out. I plan on having my vking on the water next year if everything goes good but haven't started researching setups yet.

That is a good price for a Yamaha, I work at a Yamaha dealer and don't think I can get them for that.

rich at leading edge is doing the prop 77 viper hows your vegas run compaired to the viper

[77viper]

They are 2 completely different rides. The vegas is a dream to drive in the chop, it just floats over the top and the faster you go the better it gets. The vegas isn't near as weight sensitive but also isn't near as fast. I was building a 2.5 for it slowly but now I think the 2.5 is going on the viking and I will put a 150 omc that I have sitting here on the vegas and just make a cruiser out of it. It is a xt hull so it's real easy to drive, kind of like training wheels.
