Water Skiing Prop Suggestions

Boardwalk North · 06-02-2011, 07:47 PM

I'm looking for help specing out a new prop for my 19' SmokerCraft. I have a 2003 Mercruiser 4.3L Fuel Injected Alpha One Sterndrive. This motor combo is rated at 220 HP. Current prop is an aluminum 3 blade, but that's all I know now. It is in need of replacement and I really want to maximize my ability to pull people out of the water.

I don't know my typical WOT RPM, nor my typical load (but say 4 people typcially when skiing).

What more is needed in the way of spec's and data to properly size a prop?

Thanks,
Jon
