Yeah 19 pitch prop is really small for that boat unless all you are doing is pulling skiers/wakeboarders; a 21 pitch would be perfect for that boat, you would not be happy with a 23 pitch unless you had only 2 people in the boat unloaded. If you want the best of both worlds, get a 21 pitch in a 4 or 5 blade. It will give you better stability and a better hole shot, you would get about 55mph out of it because at the speed a 4 or 5 blade creates drag.

But 50mph is plenty fast in a boat anyway. Oh yeah, and you should never be able to hit rev limiter in a boat in most cases, if you are you are proped way to low, because the prop is what limits your RPMS.
