It should have a 1.5 that is why I am pitched up a little. I think you will be happy, but I am a little leary of your 19P.

Let me know how it goes. I can hit 50 by myself and about 45 loaded up.

I also have a 19P 4 blade Stilleto if anyone is interested. Great prop but too small a pitch for my boat.
$150 (new $400)

I'd be interested if it's a stainless. I'm betting it's about 20 dollars to ship the prop.

Do u know how much you want for the prop and is the prop stainless.

$150. I can post some pics, but I am at work. I will get one posted in the next couple of days. It is stainless and doesn't have a knick on it. I believe they are 350 to 400 new. You can look it up online. It is a 19P 4 blade stainless Stiletto.

I've been out twice now, both on very flat water and with 6 or 7 people on board. My readings are 50mph on the speedometer and 4,800 revs. How would I know if I was at the rev limiter? The engine sounds the same at 4,800 rpm as it does at slower speeds.

The High 5 definitly gave me much quicker acceleration/planing and good planing at less than 20mph. The only downside is the boat lists to port at full throttle - too much torque from prop.

I look forward to some tubing and skiing now!

Boat motor will start to sputter/cough if the revs get too high and the limiter kicks in.

FYI-I sold my 4 blade Stiletto. Sorry I never posted any pics.
