Default prop choice

I have two props #1 23 pitch 4 blade and a 21 pitch 3 blade. Which one is best for towing a tube and for numerous people on board. This is a Z235 with a 454 Brovo I. Any help out there?

    If you've got them both, try them both! Load your boat the way you would normally have it, throw some tubes out and see what works best for you!

    The 21 would give you the best holeshot, and if watersports are your thing, I'd give it a try. If it feels too short, then switch to the 23...

    Just my opinion!

    Good luck and let us know!
