Hello all! I am new to boating as well as this is my first post. My boat is a 89 Searay 160, 3.0 Mercruiser, Alpha One outdrive. The question I have is as follows. What is the best sized prop tubing and wake boarding? Right now it planes at almost WOT. Seems like it should not be that way. Also, doesn't really jump out of the hole. The current prop is a aluminuim 3 blade, 19 degree pitch.Only riding with two adults and two young children. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
