I've purchased a 1998 Bayliner Capri 2050SS with an Alpha 1 5.7L Mercruiser. It came with a 21" aluminum prop with a 14.25 diamter hub. I've had it out 4-5 times and found it terrible to achieve a quick plane when pulling. I'm looking at purchasing a 4-blade prop and would like some input as to what pitch and type to buy. My WOT is 4400-4800 and I've had it going between 50-52mph at top speed with this prop. If my main goal is tubing and skiing, should I be looking at a 17"-19" prop?
Any input would be appreciated!
