alpha 1;
current 14.5 X 19 prop;
WOT 4600-5000
2006 tahoe 228 deckboat; 22.5 feet
On lake mead;
1. wife, two kids, and myself - current prop is okay
2. wife, two kids, myself and three more adults - hard time to plane.
on Lake Powell;
3. wife, two kids, and myself - hard time to plane.
4. wife, two kids, and myself + 4 more adults and two more kids -?
Propeller recommendations
1. probably stay with current dealer recommended size
2. drop down to a 14.5 X 17 ?
3. drop down to a 14.5 X 17?
4. clueless....
Thanks for any help. I know Powell is at a higher elevation and I most likely would need to drop down in size.
