B3 props?  I thought they only came in 2" increments?  22", 24", 26", etc.  What are you looking to do?  That's a pretty good drop in pitch.

Hmm, well I need a 22 then.  Boat came from Illinois, I'm in CO.  With my altitude it helps to have a lower pitch, so I hear.  I am pretty new to boating so I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing.  We wake board and tube and I think the lower pitch will get me to plane more quickly / better hole shot ???

I think with a drop that low you would indeed get a better hole shot and plane quicker but you will drastically reduce your top end.  Props are a science that never seems to have one correct answer.  Good Luck and keep us posted.

I used to run at Chatfield and all over the front range and Grand lake and I have 24's on my 454 B3 and I have no problems. Run in Nebraska now all the time and runs much better there.
