I've got a 93 wellcraft eclipse 196 S with a 5.0L Mercruiser. The prop that's on the boat is a 21P aluminum 3-blade. Currently I'm running 4100 RPM WOT with 3-4 people in the boat including me, and it's slow out of the hole.
We primarily use the boat to ski/wakeboard/tube. I'm looking at high 5 or 4-blade stainless. What pitch should I drop down to? On the high five, would I need a 19 or 17?
I'm pretty sure I'd need to drop down to a 17 in the 4 blade due to the larger diameter.
Any help/advice anyone could give would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
