I have a '78 17' Glasstron ski boat with an Evinrude 150. I'm looking into getting a backup prop. I was looking on a website that has a "Prop Doctor" (You put in your info and it recomends what size and pitch to run). It said for speed and profermance run a 14 1/4 x 21, but for watersports and skiing run a 14 1/4 x 19. I'm currently running a 14 1/4 x 21 stainless prop, but I use the boat mostly for tubing with my kids. Here is my question. Am I hurting anything by running a higher pitch prop? Also, I would prefer an alumminum prop. What do you think?
