Prop Help Wellcraft Nova 3

[Gtf-1992]

I just bought myself an 86 Wellcraft nova 3, and i need help with prop selection.
Boat came with mix-match props two Michigan wheel but different diameters and different pitches.
the specs on the boat are:
-length - 27'8"
-Weight - 5600lbs
-twin 350 Mercruisers 260hp
-Apha one gen one out drives 1.5 ratio

I need help choosing a prop, a good all around prop with good hole shot capabilities and decent top speed crusing fuel economy. hope i'm not asking for too much.
thanks,
GF

Re: Prop Help Wellcraft Nova 3

A pair of good ole Mercury 14.5 X 19 props should work, unless you need counter rotating props; in which case I'd recommend a set of Mercury Vengeance SS 14 X 19 props.

The only aluminum props I see available in both left and right rotation is the 4 blade Alpha 4; which would be suggested at a 14.5 X 18 size.

I believe that your WOT rpm range is 4200-4600 rpm.

One of the props I have is part number 48-78120 19. Which I believe is a 14x19p will this work if I get a second one?

Both drives are standard rotation.
