Re: 1st time buyer, advice please
Well, I had been looking for about a year or so. It's hard to find a good used boat as there is a bunch of junk out there. <br />It came with a SS prop, and engraved on it is 19P. I am assuming that means pitch, right? The previous owner told me he replaced it to get a better hole shot for skiing, which it does very well. The top end like you said above has fallen out- it tops at about 43. He told me with the old prop it would do approx 52-54mph (does that sound like baloney to anyone?). As a second prop, should I look down in pitch to add top end like in a 16 or 17 or up to 20 (I don't know the ranges)? Is it possible to really add 10mph just by changing props?
