Currently have a 13.25 / 19 aluminum(I think) prop. It's kinda dinged up and was considering a new stainless prop. I think I'm good with the 19 pitch - 5600 rpms trimmed out. I am having trouble determining availability and dealer in my size for a Raker/Turbo/or Stiletto. Any thoughts on which would be best for my engine and where I can purchase one? The above engine is mounted on '79 Glastron SSV-176 and used for skiing, tubing and general lake cruising. Would the investment be worth it? - it pulls a 200 lb skier up fairly good but seems like it could do better.

For more pulling power you can go to a 17. Probably since its used for pulling, a Stiletto would probably work fine. And even if you pulled a tad more rpm when not pulling it will be just fine.
