anti ventilation plate was broken from last owner with a hydro foil trying to patch it. air could still be sucked down into prop. i feel like it was allowing higher rpms. recently i fixed that and my WOT rpm are maxing at 4100. im looking the see if i need to fix other issues or it was the anti ventilation plate. about what size prop should be used on a omc 5.7 with a cobra. boat is a Larson dc-250 sport cruiser. a guess would be boat wieghs about 4200lbs. currently there is a 15 dia 17 pitch 3 blade prop on there. does that prop seem to big and previous owner couldve been compensating for cavitation or something? i need to get upwards of 4600 rpm
