Prop pitch ?

[jimmypal]

Ahoy There !
I have a '66 Evinrude sportfour 60hp on a 14' glass boat and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what pitch I should have on my prop? I don't know what the boat weighs, but it's probably pretty heavy. I'm told the older glass boats were a bit heavier (it's a 1961 Lonestar ).

Thanks,
Jim

Re: Prop pitch ?

I have a 60HP sportfour pushing my 67 MFG 16' fiberglass V hull. The prop is a 10x9-1/4 it's a little sluggish and gets only about 4000 R's WOT is 4000-5000 so it's in there, boat goes about 25MPH. I think it would be a perfect prop for your 14'er.
