Pitch of a prop? newbie question

[Nathan k]

The boat i am looking to buy it for is a 1993 Thompson bow-rider 1800 with a 3 litre mercruiser, i think it originally had a 19' prop.
i don't know anything about pitch apart from the Iboats quick guide where it said the bigger the pitch the more it can travel in one rotation?

so would i be right in assuming that the bigger the pitch the higher the top speed?
and if a boat did 30mph with a 19' how much difference would the biggest pitch available do?
Also stainless steel or aluminium?

You might be better off, and get more responses, posting your question in the "Prop" section.

Good luck.
