Prop for Merc 470

[udm328is]

Hi there,
I know there is a spot on here somewhere for specific prop info but I can't seem to find it. I have a 19' Wellcraft 192 Classic cuddy cabin. On average I have 2 to 4 average size people along. Sometimes we pull a tube or skier. I am looking to get the smoothest ride first and then best speed. Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

Happy 4th!!

Thanks...

Re: Prop for Merc 470

I had a merc 470 on my 81 Webbcraft. It was a heavy old boat at about 3000 pounds. I could run a 21 pitch with a light load but for everyday use with passengers and watersports the 19 pitch was the best.

Good luck!
