I need a new prop and want to get the best possible.

Current setup: 1979 19' bowrider w/ 1981 evinrude 235. 3 blade 14.5 x 19 prop on there now. max speed is about 45 @ 6k (reading pitot speedo) carrying family of 4

This seems a little slow for a 235 but watersport performance is most important. is the current spec the best for this boat or should i look at a different one?

That motor is about 190 hp at the prop. Is your current prop aluminum or ss? What brand?

Its black with part number 389924. I'm guessing its an OMC aluminum?

OK, going to a ss 19 should drop the r's just a tad and still be OK for pulling water toys. You could even go to a 19 4 blade.
