Rpengr, thanks for posting the prop inquiry details. I'll make sure and gather that information before I ask for prop recommendations. Good to hear I should scoot along just fine too!

You'll want to be in the mid 50's at least, and with that 4bbl you'll want a prop pitch so you reach around 4900-5000 RPM at WOT.
Ok, so if I am not at least in the 50's by time I hit 4900-5000 rpm WOT, Ill definitely need to be looking at a prop with more bite. One thing I like about the deal I got on this boat, is the previous owner gave me everything he had for the boat, bimini top, full enclosure (small panels but hey, Ill take it!), all the maintenance history receipts, anchor, fenders, buoy etc... even a brand new 19P 3 blade prop. So maybe if I do need a higher pitch I can sell the brand new one, keep the used one for a spare.

So, I'll see you out on Harris Lake sporting a rooster tail, right?
Yes sir, you just might! I don't know about a rooster tail (I hope so, that'd be cool!) but my wife and are on that lake a lot....well, not now, but we will be! If you see a blue sundowner out there with a big tall dude behind it trying to wakeboard...that's me!
Thanks gents. Looking forward to getting everything buttoned up and getting on the water.
