"Hey guys, I'm hoping some

"Hey guys, I'm hoping someone here can tell me the correct 4 prop size for my 1998 mercruiser alpha 1 250hp sterndrive. currently I'm running a 3 blade mercury alum. prop 14.5 x 19 pitch. would like to run a 4 prop mercury for skiing/better pickups/planing. I've been told to use a 14.5 x 18 pitch. Is this true? thanks, guys."
 
"Rick, to answer your question

"Rick, to answer your questions. My boat is a 1998 bayliner length 20', wt. 2435 lbs., presently running a mercury alum. 3 blade prop. 14.5 x 19 pitch. I wish a good all around prop for skiing/cruising. I've done a little research and have been told a 4 prop helps with decreased gas usage/decreased planing time/speed/less work for the engine (i.e. rpm's on mercruiser 5.7L Alpha 1 V8). Any help you can give would be appreciated."
