Hey guys I'm new to the forum and fairly new to boating, but I have a question. I recently purchased a 98 larson that had a 5.0 volvo penta that was blown out on both sides of the block from lack of winterization. I ended up rebuilding a 5.7 for it and im putting motor back in this evening. I'm curious about having to get a different prop for it. Right now it has a 3 blade 19 pitch. Will this be good for the new bigger motor or do you think ill need to go with a different pitch to accommodate the new motor?

Personally, I'd test with the 19p prop and see how it performs. If it over revs then I'd consider going with more pitch.
