what is the best pitch for a prop.

Need to get out of the whole better. What is the best pitch. Low or high.

1:1 trans? acme 13x11.5

I went from a 14 x 18 to a 13.5 x 16 acme and its great. I have a 325 hp monsoon and about 2200 lbs of water weight plus a wedge. The boat has plenty of hole shot. I don't think I would drop down that low to a 11.5, but I don't know the whole story. The 11.5 means it suppose to travel 11.5 inches per one turn.

Of course we are all assuming you have a V drive or DD

This totaly depends on the engine the hull and how the boat will be used.

Engine HP
Trany 1 to 1 or gear reduction
Boat brand and model
Do you need top end
will you be using a lot of weight
etc
