No need to go to ss for satisfactory performance.How is the hole shot now?
What is a wot rpm and speed with a light load?A 4 blade Solas Amita in a 19 will improve hole shot,stay on plane with less throttle and diddling,handle better on plane and at the dock with a slight reduction at top speed.Avoid excessive increase in diameter (approaching an inch) A ss will do the same things better at about triple the cost.
