Tahoe Q6 Prop

[smithder]

Lots of good recomendations on here so I though I would ask for one.

I have a 2008 Tahoe Q6 with a 220 HP 4.3 MPI Mercruiser Alpha One.
The boat is:
Length 20' 6''
Beam 96"
Weight w/ Engine (approx.) 2730 Lbs
Fuel Capacity 45 Gallons
Deadrise 20 degrees
Draft 24"
Deadrise 20 degrees
Draft 24"

I have smart tabs installed. I'm running a 19 pitch aluminum Mercury Prop. Currently I get about 5000 RPM @ 49 MPH.

I'd like to bring the RPMs down a bit (4600-4800 is recomended for my motor) and switch to SS.

I use the boat mostly for cruising and pulling the tube with the kids, but don't want to sacrifice all my top end.

Let me know if you need more info. I've heard alot of good things about the High Five. Would a 13.25 X 21 pitch High Five be close to what I need?

Thanks!

Re: Tahoe Q6 Prop

Is your current prop a 3 blade?

Re: Tahoe Q6 Prop

Correct. 3 blade. I found a great deal on a HF 21 pitch. ($125) so I'll try it and if it doesn't work out I'll sell it and try something else. What do you guys think?
