Which prop would you buy

[horsequick]

I have a 1989 20' Baretta with a Volvo Penta 305 GM engine. The boat has been tuned and is running great. It currently has a 15x19 prop on it and the hole shot is very sluggish. It takes about 200 yards to get to full speed with the RPM only at 3600. The two props I'm looking at are:

15 1/2"x13 or 16x15


We use this boat mainly for tubing and skiing. Any replies will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Which prop would you buy

Your full speed (WOT) should be at approx 4600 rpm with a 15 x 19 prop and a finely tuned 305.

Re: Which prop would you buy

Thank you. I'm afraid I have a water logged boat I guess. The engine is running amazing so I guess it's off to the scales to get this thing weighed. Thanks again.
