What pitch or prop kind should I put on this motor in order to get the best performance and that will also help me pull up a water ski?

Re: 1979 80hp, on 15 ft skeeter. Prop?

i have a 1979 bassmaster 15 ft fiberglass boat with a 1979 mercury 80hp on it . i run a stainless 13 dia. 21 pitch and i get about 40 mph out of her. loaded down i only loose about 5 mph. she dosent run wide open rpm's but jumps out the hole and uses very little gas. i go through about 4 gallons on an all day fishing trip. i think this is about the best combination. i also pull the kids on a tube from time to time. hope this helps

Jamie, this thread is over 5 years old. Chuck has been a member for 5 years and posted a total of 6 times.

What do you suppose are the odds that he hasn't already solved his problem and will never see your reply?
