I need help figuring the ideal all-around utilitarian prop for:
1978 Glastron Carlson CVX16 (16 ft). 1978 Mercury 115 - full power/good compression/trim. No prop, dont even know where to start. There is no tach so i couldnt work backwards with an existing prop if i had one (I dont want to install a tach either).
Plan on using this boat for cruising the lake. Typically with only 2, maybe three adults and a cooler (@500-600lbs). Maybe pull a tube once in the while. Do not plan on skiing. If there were a range of acceptable props and pitch with hole shot at one end and top speed at the other end..i want the middle pitch....or leaning towards higher top end.
This is not an uncommon set-up. Perhaps someone has a good combo already ? Please let me know your thoughts or suggestions.
