"I just recently acquired a 19
"I just recently acquired a 1972 Glastron 16' boat. It has the 130C/270. I had to get a rebuilt head and replace the head gasket. The first time we took it out I was disapointed with the performance. I realize this is an old boat with a small 4 cylinder, but I thought I could get a little more out of it. I had trouble pulling up a skier. Compression and ignition timing are good. Engine rpm was 4400 at WOT. Could I get a little more rpm with a different prop? How well do these boats perform for water skiing? I know my prop is 14", but I am not sure of the pitch. I don't see any numbers on it either. What size prop will help? thanks!"
