Hey guys I want to get some input on what prop to go with. Last year I ran a 21p 4 blade which gave me a good mid range speed but on got around 4200 rpm out of it. Any other suggestions? I do most my riding in the LI sound so looking for something that is best for rough water.

Remove a valve cover and if it says "PASS" stamped on the head its a 330hp...If it says "HI PERF" it has the square port heads and is the 365hp mag motor.
Also, look at the sticker on the drive--do you have a 1.5 ratio? Your boat weighs approx 5000 lbs wet and should be able to push a 21p prop to more than 4200 rpm's (even if you have the 330 hp 454). Either your boat has gained alot of weight, your tach is off or your drive ratio is not the standard which would be affecting rpm's.
