Hello all I'm wondering if anyone could suggest a new prop for my boat (listed above). Unfortunately I found some shallow water in my local lake and messed my prop up beyond repair. The prop that was on, and I believe was original, is a 3 blade Mercury 48-16316 19P SS Vengence. Because I now have a bad prop and I rarely ran at WOT I don't really know the exact numbers but I found someone else had posted the exact boat and they Listed 4900 RPM @ 48 MPH and that sounds about right from what I remember. Now that I'm needing a new prop I was thinking that maybe I could tweak the performance a bit. I have found that when wakeboarding with more than 3 adults that I need to put a couple of the adults in the bow otherwise it takes quite a while to get up on a plane and the rider doesn't usually enjoy that. From the bit of research I've done I'm thinking about going with a 4 blade 19" aluminum prop but there are so many choices that my head is spinning. Also, is SS worth the extra $$. Any advice much appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you.
