My current 19p will spin 5200+. Will a 19p 21p or 23p give you the best hole shot. I do understand proping and rpm on the high end. What pitch will give you the most bite comming out of the hole. Is more pitch better?
thanks

FF,
No, the 19 will do the most for your hole shot .
Also four blades usually help coming out of the water too

Thanks,
I have a vortec 355 with an airgap intake, 4 barrel turning an alpha I gen 2 and it jumps up on plane. I know I can turn a bigger prop on the high end but I love the hole shot for water skiing. On my high end I can only get 50 from the boat when it is light. With a 21p I could probally add 2 knots and turn 5k or a 23p add 4 knots and turn 4800.
Most of the time we do watersports and maybe the 19p that gives me the best hole shot is also the easiest on the motor. Maybe I won't stretch my rods again with the 19p. No knocks is a good thing.
Thanks
