[drtachy]

what prop should i run on this motor?

currently have 19 pitch 3 blade. Holeshot is good but can it be improved.

Tried 17 pitch 3 blade, no real difference.

What about 18 pitch 4 blade??

feedback appreciated

What about a five blade. The high five in either 17 or 19 would be awesome. For wakeboarding and holeshot it is well proven to supply the goods. I changed to one and could not be happier.

I recently went from a 19 pitch 3 blade SS on a 21' Sea Ray 5.7 Alpha to an 18 pitch 4 blade aluminum (wanted to see how it performed before springing for stainless). The boat is quicker out of the hole, and I'm able to run on plane at about 200-250 less RPM. Top speed is about the same, as I was also able to pick up about 400 on WOT - probably a result of going aluminum as opposed to SS.
