I have recently ordered a Stingray 185LS, which I hope will arrive late Jan '06. It has the standard 3.0L Merc & prop. I wish to go skiing, wakeboarding and are wondering if there is a better prop or goodies to add on to make it better for skiing. Any suggestions?

The 4.3 V6 would have been a better choice of power.

Re: Props

The V6 was not an option on this boat in Australia and the next model up didn't fit within my specifications for storage limitations, price etc. Hence the decision to go with the smaller boat. Bowriders as we all know are a compromise between various uses and as such I am looking to achieve the best compromise between general family river use and the occassional ski when with friends, suggested propellor pitches and makes would be helpful in setting the boat up from delivery.

The Lexor is a good choice for that type of rig...we'll have to get a base-line with the prop that comes with it first though...
