    what prop size and pitch

    I have a pre alpha matched to a 4 cylinder mecruiser 3.0L running on a 1973 18 ft Reinell closed bow. I was just wondering what would be the best prop for pulling tubes knee boards and skis. I mainly run on the IL river so I am going to be sticking with the aluminum prop. Any advise would be great.
