prop question

[maddog2]

I have a 1992 Celebrity 190BR that is 18'-7" long. v-hull. It has a 1992 Mercruiser 4.3LX engine and Alpha one outdrive.

What is the best size and pitch prop to use on the boat? Aluminum prop.
I believe the current prop is a 14 X 22.

Re: prop question

Need alot more information before anyone can speculate what prop you "need"

Is your current prop in perfect condition
What are you current WOT numbers? (RPM ans speed)
What are you trying to accomplish?

Of course all of this is engine dependant. Is your 4.3 running well and making full power? It would really suck to spend all the time and money to dial in your prop, only to have a tune up and some fresh gas put you out of your RPM range later.
