Thanks a lot for the information and I will be in touch soon.
We think the original prop was 21 inches but not sure. It is probably in the boathouse somewhere so we will check it out. I ran the boat full throttle and trimmed up pretty good with a load in it late Saturday afternoon and we were running 46-48 mph turning 4800 rpms. I would think that is pretty good. The biggest problem I have with the performance is with the "hole shot". It is always very sluggish and when pulling a tube it tends to bog down on the sharper turns..
From what I have read I felt like we for sure needed to go to a 4 blade prop but not sure what pitch. Sorry so long. Thanks again.
