Prop
 

Does anyone have any suggestion on what pitch prop I need for my Mariah 190 4.3 L. I am looking
for speed but able to get the boat down when starting off.

What pitch prop is on the boat now and how does it perform? That info will help us give you a little more accurate answer. Most members here run the 3 blade 19" aluminum prop though on that combo.

It is a 21.

ok, if its a 21" pitch & you are having difficulty getting the bow down & onto plane easily then a drop to a 19" pitch will solve that problem. Also, do a site search for 'Smart Tabs'. They do wonders for planing & stability at a cost of a little under $150. There are lots of satisfied members here who have installed them. You can also check them out here at the Nauticus site. Your boat will need the 60# actuators and they are relatively easy to install yourself.

Where can you purchase a resonably priced 19 prop

Re: Prop
 

There are lots of places to look. My preference is iboats.com. Here's the link to their 19" Prop selection for your motor/outdrive.
