Bought my first boat last year. I was a little disapointed with the pulling power of the boat. I have a 5.7 with a 19 three bladed SS prop. I do live 5500 feet up so I know that reduces the power of the boat, but I am going to switch to a four bladed SS prop. Wondering what pitch to go with? I am willing to give up top end speed. Am I expecting to much of a 1990 21ft boat fully loaded to be able to pull a big man out of water at 5500 feet up?
