1995 Johnson 112 SPL. Prop??? 14x17

[Late Nites]

Hello to all, and being new to this board I need to get right to the point.<br /><br />I bought a 19' Wellcraft for the kids to fish and wakeboard behind.The stock prop on on the 95 112 spl now is a 14x17 and drags alittle, bow up getting on plain. I've read and searched this forum for a couple of weeks and have read different opinions on prop size and pitch.<br /><br />2200lbs boat 3-5 people on board, tank always full when we leave the dock will be trolling the cbbt, fishing as much as possible and also towing a 2 person tube and pulling a 100 lbs. kid on a wake board and wanting to get places with out feeling like i'm dogging the boat. If there is anything I did'nt mention please let me know and I will reply. Thanks for the help in advance.<br /><br />4100 RPMs seems to running the boat to its limit cruise with out doing any damage. I will replace the prop with an aluminum.

Welcome aboard, Late nites..<br />If 4100RPM is all you get at WOT, your engine isn't going to last long...<br />Needs to be around 5800RPM at WOT.<br />What do you mean by "running the boat to it's limit"????<br />This is a duplicate post, I'm going to lock the other one..

I have not run it at wot, due to the tach is acting up and I'm waiting to have it repaired.The tach takes about 10 minutes before it will start to work and this is after I cleaned all the connections.<br /><br />I went to BPS and bought a Sting Ray stabilizer and will put it on tomorrow. Every boat like mine that is for sale has one of these on there, so maybe that will fix my problem.
