First, You should probably throw away your GPS because it doesen't work. No way your doing 67 with 20" prop turning 4300. Even with zero slip you would have to have like a 1.1 gear ratio. If you have a 454 alpha you probably have a 1.33 I think. If you have a stock merc 330 a 19 will be close as daredevil said.
