can't do much without knowing WOT of current prop. But if it had a 17p
before I would go for a 14.5 x 17SS. The extra diameter should help getting
up and going due to having more blade area.

I'm looking for suggestions, knowing there can be no science or hard
answers....

350 ci Carb'd engine
23' cuddy cabin boat
4100lbs

Current prop is a SS 14x19
Old prop (I'm assuming, becuase it was on teh boat) is alum 14x17

I don't know the WOT RPM as the outdrive is currently off; but want to get
an
approximate or good starting prop for 1st sea trial.

I heard the current SS prop was hard to get up on a plane, had to be going
fairly fast, and once on plane, dropping off the throttle, it'd drop back
off
plane.

Discussion, suggestion, etc is appreciated.
