You probably wouldn't get on plane without it being ported, could be wrong. Remember, you lose 3% of your horsepower on a naturally aspirated motor for every 1K increase in elevation. Hard to spin up to the power band without the cavitation you get when ported.Bassin_BlitzĀ Wrote:You need to reduce pitch not diameter, Bear lake is close to 6000 ft willard is 4200 ish for every 1000 ft you would drop 1 inch in pitch so you would want to go with a 15 1/2 by 11 assuming you are already set up correctly.

Thanks for the info Bassin_Blitz, I was hoping someone would know which one(pitch vs dis) was the correct way to go. I was thinking a smaller dia prop would turn faster and give me higher RPM. That info will help me decided what I need.
WWW.PTPROP.COM makes a nice stainless with very little slip.
