Thanks for the reply. I am going to start with a 14 1/2 X 19 aluminum prop just to see if that's about right. I fish out of Barnstable Harbor and spend a lot of time off Wellfleet working the shoals for stripers and bluefish. Late September and all of October is the best time of year. Late fall I usually move the boat over to Osterville and fish off the Vineyard.
