I have a IO-360C1C 200hp none counter weighted engine that I will be using in
my LNC2 I would like to use the Hartzell prop 68" (HC-F2YR-1F/F7068-2) I
believe that this prop has a slight edge over the  72" (HC-F2YR-1F/F7666A-4) as
well as having more ground clearance. I believe that Hartzell don't recommend
the 68" prop on the 200hp none counter weighted  engine  only the 72"? are
there people using the 68" on 200hp none counter weighted engines and do we
have a safe history with this usage? If I have to use the 72" will I then have
a ground clearance issue? what has experience with the longer prop been?
