Wrong prop?

[Rinky18']

I have a 1998 rinker 182 with a 3.0 mercruiser and I usually take 3-5 people out and it struggles to get on plane. This said i took the numbers off the prop which say its a quicksilver 1918p21. It runs a max of 3600-3700 rpms @ 28 mph. I think this boat will run quite a bit faster and get up out of the water a-lot faster. Im looking for some answers as to what prop i should run. I am not really happy with the performance of the boat please help!! thxs Shawn

Re: Wrong prop?

17p 4 blade should fit you well better whole shot better acceleration and should pick up some speed u should be in the upper 30's at least a 19p 3 blade would be better than what u got though

Re: Wrong prop?

I would go with a 14 x19 3 blade. 21 is too much for that boat and weight.
