Getting to the end of my project of updating my 1963 13' Sport. I have a 1989 Yamaha 50 two stroke. I would appreciate any suggestions on what type of prop to select. Will run at approximately 5500 feet elevation with about 700 pounds of net weight inside (includes about four people and gear). Cruising and towing the occasional tube or skier.
Thanks

Any suggestions would be appreciated! I do not currently have a tach as part of my setup.
Thanks in advance!

At sea level the recommendation for owners are a 10-1/4" x 15" stainless Yamaha prop.
With a load, I would drop down to the same make/model but in a 10.25 x 13 size.
Given you are at elevation, you will suffer a loss of hp. I would go for a 11" pitch.
Mounting should be two holes up.

Get a tach.
