any prop suggestions?

[hullofalottatrouble]

I have a 1981 Century Cuddy 4000 21ft 2,600lb boat 40 gallon fuel tank.. usually just have 4-5 people on board at most.. run the boat on lake michigan ... dont have much gear otherwise..

With a merc 260 and 260 drive..

current prop is 3 blade 14in x 19 pitch. its a bit dinged up.. was that way when i bought the boat and now that i got the engine running im looking to replace the prop..

4200-4600 recommended WOT RPM

does 14in x 19 pitch seem correct for my setup?

i dont believe i can get an accurate WOT RPM with the current prop being a bit dinged up like it is.. and i am still breaking the engine in.. but also dont want to buy the same prop if it seems out of line..

thanks..

14 x 19 is about right......​
