Good day...... I own a 1988 18ft Searay CB V6 4.3L... Has 21 pitch on it now which came original...Friend has a stainless four fin 14 pitch....The boat's RPM's runs about 5800 at full throttle now, not pulling anything... But the boat will be used to wake board and ski...Will this work on my boat or could you give me some insight as to what would work best??? Thanks

I believe the max rpm for that motor is 4,800.Not good to overrev Could be terminal.
Motor must run within its rpm range at wot(wide open throttle)
If you read the stickies at the top of the page and the helps on the prop store page it will help you understand prop selection.
We need a lot more info about your boat to help with a prop selection.
Weight,horse power,present prop size,max rpm and speed.Typical load and activities.
