Afternoon everyone, hoping someone can give me their insights on which prop setup I should go with. I have a 1992 Glastron (17') with a 3.0LX Mercruiser, Alpha One. The original prop that came on the boat was a 17P; however the seller also included another prop which I never paid attention to until we ran into some shallow water this year and tore up our original prop pretty bad. I replaced the damaged prop yesterday and noticed that it was a 19P prop. From what I could gather from Glastron, from the manufacturer was a 14 x 21P, however I was reading an old (1991 was the closest I could find) product manual from their site. What prop came with this setup from the manufacturer? Second question, is it worth switching to a 4 blade, to increase the acceleration. Tubing on the 3 blade is fine, but getting me (6'0, 230lb) out of the water on skis (wakeboard is ok) is difficult when you have a couple of passengers in the boat. Not at high elevation, don't really care about top speed, boat at WOT right now runs at about 35-40mph (depending on how rough the lake is), within the manufacturers RPM guidelines on the 17P prop, haven't tested the 19P prop yet. Thanks!
