Merc 3.0L 140hp Prop Change

[matthewpa]

Well I pulled the trigger. I am replacing my Merc Vengeance SS 21P with a TP Legacy (same as Hustler) 14.25x19P.
So the question.

Right now I have terrible holeshot with the Merc prop and get 39mph@4400rpm(WOT).

Does anyone have a similar setup to give me some expectations?

Ayuh,.....

You should get a Much Better Holeshot,......

You should be Very Close to the Max WOT rpms.......

I have a 3.0 140hp with a 19 pitch. I was just out last weekend pulling skier and tubers no problem. Hole shot wasn't as great as my 17 pitch prop but i was really shocked on how it shot out of the water. If your engine is running strong you will really like the 19.
