Great forum! I have a 1999 Bayliner capri classic that I am the original owner of. The prop that came on the boat is a 19 pitch. The boat is pretty doggish when I go to my favorite spot which is Flaming Gorge in Utah/Wyoming. That body of water is at a bit over 6000 feet (GPS) and my boat with three people and gear can only manage 23 mph @ 3600-3700 rpm at WOT. That is actually a bit less than WOT because it backfires (pops) at WOT, which I am assuming is from a rich condition, which is a topic for another thread maybe.
Anyway, I want a new prop which I will order from this site. I was looking at a 17, because it might give me a wider range if I want to go to Lake Powell (3600 feet), but 90% of my boating is around 6000-6500 fee so I was looking at a 15 or 16 pitch. What brand and pitch do you guys/gals recommend?
