Prop Size for performance

[Jet_setter57]

Hi All,

New here, I just recently purchased a 1988 FW 201 Liberator with the 5.7L with the king cobra outdrive. I'm looking to find the best performance prop / size for my boat. Gear ratio 1.41 @ 4400RPM I believe 270HP. I was looking at the Solas Rubex 14 4/5 x 19 pitch. Thanks in advance.

Whats the current prop and what kind of slip number/speed are you getting. 10% slip on a 21 puts you at 56mph - but gotta be a good prop that jives with your hull. Laser 2 or similar may be a good place to start. Offshoreonly might be a better place to ask.
