The "right" prop is the one that moves whatever boat it is correctly rigged on to the top of, but not beyond, the engine's operating range at WOT.<br /><br />Without a tachometer and a correctly rigged engine with T&T we have to guess.<br /><br />My guess is that your rig will work best with a 17" prop.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
