Really hard to say without more info.

I will say that I had a 16' Baja with a 120 Chrysler that ran a SS 21" wheel. Based on that I would conclude that the 19" would be better for you.

Good Luck!

I was told 21 pitch would give me more top end. however i will be mostly joy riding not looking for speed just a smooth quick plain out ride. im thinknig 19 would be better also. im looking at a 13x19 SS prop in excellent condition for about 150$ is that a good price? with hub.

I'm running a 125 merc classic "close to the same" I'm running on Tundra 18 "Tin" which is probably lighter. Running 19" Balistic is not enough, easily reach max rpm "5250" with room, so I use this prop for tubing or when I have 7 in the boat. I did pickup a 22" balistic which I think is a tad tall as I can get to 5K by myself and 2 small boys but ad another adult and I can just make 4900, engine feels like it's loaded although runs 45-46 gps. I'm going to pickup a 21 balistic and run with that. I'm sure the 22 will be fine in spring and fall but for general summer use I think I will be better off with the 21. I would think in your case the 21 would be fine but the 19 will get you up quicker. Problem where I live is no one lets you test props. This has gotten expensive as I'm looking at another $300 for the 21"

Good Luck

Would your props be interchangeable with mine?

Not sure, it's 2001 with 4 1/4 gear case. You would think they might. Maybe some one here will chime in.

Hey Singleshot. Shop on here for your Ballistic. They're on sale. Would be nice to know your gearbox ratio in following along with you.

Numbauno. You can go to Mich wheel www and look in their catalog and answer that question.
