What brand and model of 3 blade stainless prop works best for ski boats. I'm looking for a good hole shot and smooth ride. I know I need a 14x19 or 14x20. with my current solas 14x21ss I cant really trim up much and i can only hit 4000 rpm. It doesn't seem to get the back of the boat out of the water. I am installing trim tabs and I'm going to wait and see how those affect it. The 14x19 aluminum Solas Rubex I have corrects the rpm to 4600 and helps the boat trim up some but not much and the holes shot is great. Top speed is actually about the same with either one at 45 mph GPS with three full size adults. I want stainless though because it is pretty :)

That 19 pitch is the right one for your boat, gives you the ideal numbers. Have it on when dialing in the trim tabs. Try the Solas SS 21 pitch again later after all that.
