Hey guys, I have a 2004 Tahoe Q4 SF 4.3L Mercruiser. Looking to replace my alum prop with a SS, currently has a 14X23P alum on it. Im thinking i need to go down in the pitch because its WOT is around 4400 or so RPMs.. should i go down, go with 4 blade? what are your guys thoughts.. Thanks

I'd go to a 19p SS prop. Solas has some good ones.

Should you go with a 4-blade? Who knows? Is a 4-blade on it now? If no: You doing any water sports, correcting any low- and mid-range issues, blowing out on turns, looking for holeshot at the expense of top end?
