thanks... I appreciate the help

Thanks... My current prop is a 4 blade & came from the factory that way. Not sure what establishing the baseline would do, as the current prop is no working well. It works well with a light load, but poorly with 4 or 5 adults, so I have to do something.

thanks. Tabs are the next option after the prop

I'm not sure of the RPM at WOT. The boat is new to me and haven't had a chance to get it going long enough to get to the RPM. I'm new to boats. Sorry for the poor answer.

I have a 2008 190 SSI with a 4.3 220hp Volvo Penta, with a 4 blade 19" 14.25" prop. I want to increase the low end performance to get on plane easier and quicker. Would changing the prop to a 17" (or even lower) SIGNIFICANTLY improve the low end performance. I'm OK loosing some top end performance. With 4 or 5 adults on the boat, it is hard to get on plane (even with 2 of them in the bow). Would this create any issues or overload the engine? Would a stainless prop make much difference. Any suggestions or experiences from others who have the same boat?
