19.5 Signature prop question

[Total Advantage]

Hello everyone.

First time poster, long time lurker.

I have a 2001 19.5 Signature open bow with a 5.0 and Alpha 1 drive. It planes slow compared to a lot of other rigs Iv'e had and pulling a skier out of deep water is a biotch.

So what prop are you running?

Thanks
Tim

Put a Mercury high-5.....17 pitch prop on it and you'll be happy

What is your rpm's at WOT with the 17" ?

I get about 4850 at WOT and a light load. I usually run a 19P high five but put the 17P on for water sports and heavier load. I am also running at about 5,000 ft which cuts me back a bit.
