1999 Johnson 115 omc sst 21 or Ballistic 21 ?

[quebec#1]

Just bought a 1999 Johnson 115 to replace my 1985 merc 115 on my Glastron cvx 16. The 1999 Johnson has a current aluminum 19 prop. I would like a sst but dont know if the ballistic 21 or omc sst 21 would be better . The Ballistic is about $90 more. I could also get a raker 22 but ive seen here that the raker is closer to a 21 vs the ballistic/omc sst 21 prop. All props are used... Looking for all around good top speed and cruising /water skiing needs.

The raker is a much better prop than the other 2 especially if it is the original raker. Much better lift than either of the other 2 .

So the raker 22 should be better and is it true its closer to a 21 than like the omc21 sst and balistic21 .

I have a 17, 21, and 24 XP Ballistic for my Merc 90. I found that the 21 is a little shy in blade area for the pitch and I was not happy with it. So I would not consider it. The XP has plenty and is a great prop........but my boat can take a 24P.
