What prop should I run

[holorinhal]

I have a 25' wellcraft Nova with twin Merc 888's. I am running alluminum props but do not know what pitch they are. engines turn about 3800 rpms at WOT.
what would be the best prop to get the most speed for this size boat? No plulling ,tubeing or skiing involved.

Without the present prop size,(usually on the barrel or under the prop nut)
max rpm and speed there is no way to tell what your boat requires.
Wouldn't hurt to tell us what a Wellcraft Nova is.If you read the stickies at thetop of the page and the helps on the iboats prop store page you'll better understand what we need.

A Wellcraft Nova is one of their more popular models. Nothing real sporty but a nice easy to push hull for the size and weight. It'll go real nice if you remove the I/Os and put a couple of 225s on a bracket. Neat ride, been there.
