what props are ideal for towing skiiers/wakeboards?

My boat is a 14' bowrider with a Johnson 115 HP engine. What is the best way to maximize its pulling/wake-throwing ability??

hard to say since we dont knwo the weight of the boat andload. I have a 17 alimunim w70hp Johnson, loaded with 5 people and a skier i use a 13 pitch, when i go fishing i put on a 19. What do you have on now? how many rpm's are you running at WOT?

14 footer with a 115 should have lots of horsepower per pound, see how it does, if it lugs, go to a smaller pitch

thanks all<br /><br />ray, that area by the St Johns where the banana spider almost got you is right down the road from me. I'm out at the beach, not to far from the river, but we usually saltwater fish in the intracoastal and near the jetties
