But assume 4600 is max at leanest config, so if you prop it lighter,
watch
the tach and don't exceed.



So my new 21" pitch -- me alone, WOT , semi-flat water trimed right, 4300
RPM --
the prop is no good? Too much strain on the engine?


Looks good from here...

(I may have 14.5x21" prop for sale soon)



You will know after you try it with a few people on board. If you struggle
to get on plane or can't get the RPM's up over about 4000, then you are
over-proped for that load.
