ok so i have been looking around and it seems that there is a very small selections of props for volvo outdrives. I have the 3.0l and am looking for a prop for it. I wakeboard so holeshot is preferable. I hear taking the same pitch and diameter and getting a 4 blade helps a ton. I am thinking about adding 200-400 lbs of balast to the boat so I need something with more punch asside from a bigger motor LOL. Any ones experience. I'm not looking for stainless would rather go with just plain old aluminium.
Thanks

my 03 campion 505 17ft had the same set up as you and I went from a 19p 3 blade to a 17p 3 blade and it made a big difference on the bottom end I think it slowed it down a bit on the top but that was not a issue for me.

yes 14.5. You also may want to look at a 4 blade I just went from a 21p 3 blade to a 18p 4 blade on my h200 with 220 merc and it made a big difference in the hole shot but my goal was to keep the boat on plane at 16-18 mph while the kids wake board and now it works great before you were always on the throttle one way or the other. I am at 3400 ft also.
