19 ft bow rider

[gty2k2000]

hi i had posted a while back about my 19 ft bow ridernot getting up on plane. well i tested out all the manuale trim positions and found the sweet spot and now it does about 33mph on a good day in the bay. but im looking for a little more top end speed and bow lift. im currently runin a 13.25X17 and i think i should be riding a 13.50X20or21 <br />right now the boat ive got is realy light but gets no bow lift at top speed. what do you all think should i gety this prop or no<br /><br />give me some numebrs on prop sizes you recomend

Re: 19 ft bow rider

500 rpm is a wide range, but it sounds like you are propped about righ as you have it.

Walker is not asking what the book says, he wants to know what rpm your motor will turn at wot with an average load with the prop you have now.
