Prop Suggestion For The Experts

[odie241]

Hello all of you prop experts.I have a question for you guys to help me out.
"rs1lollie" Recommended I come over here,he said you guys helped him and made his boat much better,so I am leaving it up to you guys to make my boat cruise.I have a "1977 190-T Del Ray 18ft Tri-Hull With a 400 ci Chevy" w/pre alpha drive.I am running a 19 pitch 3 blade prop now,with a whale tail.I am going to take the whale tail off and install trim tabs on it,was hoping you guys could calculate a good prop for the boat.

I dont have any plane issues now,but i do have a pulling issue,and am going to take the whale tail off,and see if that helps.I basically use the boat for cruising,and going to do the occassinal water ski'ing,and pulling a tube.

Thanks in advance,,,,,,,,,,,,Odie

Odie,

ESSENTIAL DATA REQUIRED
When posting a question about propellers, you cannot get a reasonable answer unless you provide the following information in your post: Items 1-4 are essential for meaningful response to most questions.
1) Performance issue you are trying to correct.
2) Current prop manufacturer, model, aluminum or stainless and as a minimum.
3) Current prop diameter and pitch (required).
4) Wide open throttle RPM and speed with an average load (very helpful)
5) Engine/drive make, model, year, and HP
6) Boat make model, year, length and weight
