Which Prop Do I have, Which Prop Do I need 20V

[2Step]

I have an 02 20V, I have about 1400lbs of ballast in the boat, but even w/o the weight the boat seems to be having a hard time getting out of the hole. I am kind of a big guy 6'2" 225lbs and when I am boarding it takes a while to get me up. What prop comes stock on the 02 20V and which pitch do I need to get my fat *** out of the water faster?
Thanks,
Chris

I have a 04 switch V with a MP vortec 5.7 ( 335 HP )
it has a Acme 537
13.5 X 16 four blade nibral 1 1/8 & .105 cup
When you go out, there is usually about 1,100lbs of people and no extra weight.
I am 6’1” and 250, and it gets me out of the water very fast.
WOT is around 48
hope this helps

the big question here is, do you have gear reduction v-drive?

Thanks whitlock,
I don't have a gear reduction V-Drive that I know about. would there be a tag on the V drive, like a rear end?

If your transmission is painted blue then you have the gear reduction.

It's not blue. does whitlock87s recomendation on prop size look right?

[Tige M.D.]

no, without the gear reduction you need to run the same prop as a direct drive. 13x13, 13x 12.5, 13x11.5. i would suggest the acme 13x11.5 3 blade. it will help with the ballast and you weight.
