Prop Sizing

[jharcus]

I have a 1996 2 stroke 115 hp V4 Johnson on a 160 GS Glastron ski boat. I have a 17 pitch 14 inch 3 blade alum prop on it. It has great hole shot but I can over rev it by 300 rpm at WOT. Would I be better to go to a 18 pitch 4 blade SS or a 19 pitch 3 blade SS prop. I use this boat to ski my family so the hole shot is great to have but I also like to cruise down the river.

Recommend you Repost this Q in the prop questions forum. They can recommedn a specific make and model prop for you.

FWIW, I think the 3-blade prop will be a better choice for a light hull like yours.
