Correct Prop size on 16' tri hull
Hi,
I am the newest of newbees about boating. Bought a 1981 16' tri hull Imperial made by All season industries management corp with an 90 hp Evinrude Motor. Came with a 17 pitch prop that is dinged, 13.25 inch.diam. Idles and runs great. Feels like good power, but not at all impressive at pulling skiers out of the water. Over 200 lbs, forget it! Tow rope is low, maybe 12 inch above the water. Top end maybe 36 mph and 4800 rpm. How do I know the right prop and pitch? Other ideas? Thanks, Steven |
