Default RPM & WOT question

If it were me I would drop to a 19 or 20. The prop you have would be
good if you always went out by yourself and cruised, but I would want
something must closer to the top of the range under those conditions
so that when you have a couple people or want to get that skier ot
tuber up you can do it. If your current 21 is an aluminum, a stainless
21 might be the ticket. Just an opinion, not an expert.

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?

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