Default What prop for wakeboarding behind a nordic rage

I have a 05 rage with a 496HO and a 26P prop and its rather slow out of the hole.

I was thinking a 20P or 22P ?

what would the topspeed be reduced to with either of those props?

thanks guys

I found this prop on the craigslist for 150 bucks, will it fit the bravo X1

This is a USED CHP Propeller. CHP was Chad Hill Propellers. This is a 14 1/4 X 23, hub diameter is 4 1/2-4 3/4 $150.00

I have a hard time envisioning anything with a 496 being too slow out of the hole for wakeboarding.

It is much easier to come up slow on a board vs skis. Holding a consistent 18-20 mph would be the difficut part.

i wouldn't pitch down that low you will be against the rev limiter in no time on a wot run, get some tabs, they will help alot, my rage has a decent hole shot with the 26, not sure what your expecting out of it though, i can hold about 20-22 mph on plane without tabs with the trim down the hole way, i tend to ease out of the hole anyway, easier on the drive
