Both the OMC/BRP SST/Viper propellers and the Stiletto Advantage are great props for that boat/motor combination.

The precise pitch will depend on the gear ratio and redline of your 1988 Johnson 70, which I do not recall off the top of my head. It changed in the late 1980s or early 1990s.

Your motor's owner's manual will contain the gear ratio/RPM information.
