Default Re: prop size

Will,
Those are higher than mine, but I am using a 4-blade prop, which I believe is too much for that engine. I will likely try the 14x19 three-blade this spring, but the new console and re-wiring is standing in the way.
4200 sounds pretty good, anyone else want to chime in on WOT numbers for the mercruiser 3.0?
I'll check the book tonight, but I think those are about right.
FYI - I get about 29-30 mph w. the 4 blade, but my engine is lugging down to 3500-3600. lighter load however.
