Prop comparison

[Bayliner175xt]

Howdi, just a quick question.
Which would pull a skier out quicker a 4 blade 13" 22"P or a 4 blade 14" 18"P
on a bayliner 175 with a 3.0L Mercruiser Alpha 1 drive & SX Smart Tabs.
We are using a Piranha Prop with interchangeable blades.

We have done some testing, but still would like further opinions.
One can never have to much knowledge.

Thank's in advance.

Ayuh,... Lower Pitch, pulls Harder....

A 13" diameter is probably a small hub prop for an Outboard...

Disregarding the diameter and assuming a Piranha the 18 should get you up quicker.
