Need a little help out there from the all omnipotent boat gods. I recently purchased at 1996 18.5 ft Stratos Fish/Ski with a 150 Johnson. We used the mess out of the thing last summer but I was little dissapointed with the hole shot for skiing. The top speed (52-54 with 4 adults) was there but from what I have read my WOT @ 4700 is entirely too low. I am currently running a 13.25 X 25 SHOOTER which is too much(right??).... so I guess I'm in the market for a new prop. <br /><br />I'm more interested in acceleration than top speed and I've been calling different people around town. Locally here in Memphis I have gotten several opinions ranging from "you need 14.5 X 20 Turbo" to get you to the 5250-5500 range....And then someone else said that a 22 or 23 pitch Tempest is the way to go. <br /><br />Now.... from what I understand every number in pitch equals 2-300 increase in RPM so what should my next move be in the prop department. 20 pitch on that Turbo seems a little low (5 pitches lower = +1000 RPM) for me but the hub is quite a bit bigger than what I currently use. Does that Matter? What do you guys think.<br /><br /><br />Thanks in Advance<br /><br />Bryan
