Stainless prop on rinker captiva 192

[jminz]

I have a 2005 rinker captiva 192 4.3L. Looking for folks with same boat and which stainless prop you are running and what pitch.

I don't have the luxury of trying multiple props so I need input before buying. Thanks in advance.

What are you running now
What is the max rpm attained?
Better off with Alum, less things break

I'm running a blackmax 19pitch aluminum. Hits rev limiter at 5k.

I know I'll need to pitch up to 20 at least, but I would really like to go to stainless so was hoping to see which one others prefer.

Post the gearing on you leg your current speed's we know your rpm levels....Is this a carbed or efi engine?

1.81 ratio. Max rpm at 5k when rev limiter kicks in, assuming my tach is right. Top speed is 42mph. It is carbed.

21 pitch solas or stilletto. If that boat had a light load when you posted your number's maybe a 20 pitch for a heavy load.
