out of the hole probs?????

[ontfarmboy]

i just purchased a new rinker 19 ft boat with a 4.3 l engine with a 14.25" x 21p 3 blade prop on it.with this prop the boat revs at 4800 rpm which the dealer told me it should be.if i have couple people on the boat things are not to bad. if i get 4 or more people on it or try skiing or tubing, it has a hard time getting up on plane.It helps to put a couple people up on the bow.is this a weight and balance issue or is it a prop issue or bit of both.i have been told that a 19p prop will help but will over rev...is this correct?????i was also told to install a 4 blade prop..is this correct???..if so what size and pitch do i go with.top speeds are not an issue as boat is more a skiing tubing boat and if not doing that just out for pleasure ride 30 mph max.any suggestions welcome. thanks in advance.

Ontario,you need to purchase a Solas Amita 4 blade aluminum 21" pitch prop right here on Iboats. Your RPM will be reduced to about 4,500 RPM but your speed should be about the same and your ability to pullup skiers and your hole shot and acceleration throughout your whole RPM range will be very much better and you will be very pleased.
