Posts: 11 I have a 1989 Lund Tyee (18.5 ft.) with a Mercruiser Alpa One. I currently am using a 14 1/2 diameter, 19 pitch 3 blade prop. I get out of the hole just fine but I can reach upwards of 5,800 rpm's and I don't want it that high (prefer to stay under 4,700). I use the hub assembly and my question is do I have to stay with that diameter and should I go to a 21 or a 23 pitch? I cannot find this info at Lund, and or, Mercury. I know I will be slower out of the hole, but my top end will be better. I run with some big boats and I'm always way behind and I don't want to buy both props if I don't need to. Would the 23 pitch be best??? Thx for any help.
