I have a Stratos XL185 with a OMC 4.3 and Cobra outdrive. It has what seems to an 18 pitch prop on it. It's turning 4800 rpms at 40 mph, but the engine will rev well over 5000 rpm if you let it. The prop is an 18 pitch SS prop. It would seem somebody had it reowrked at one time. I've been keeping the rpms in the 4200-4400 range is about 35 mph or so. Do I need a 21 pitch or maybe even a 23pitch. The boat comes out of the water like a champ planes in seconds, I assume I will kiss that goodbye correct? Thanks in advance for your help.
