    Someone PLEASE help me with Doni prop selection?

    Boat is 14' long. Alpha gen2 (I have to see what the ratio is) Guessing the weight to be in the 1200 pound range (help here too please) I am going to weigh it soon. Engine 120 (3.0) Mercruiser. 20 gallons fuel. I was thinking a hHigh-5 by Merc.
    Please help me out.
    Thank

    I might suggest a Turbo Fusion 4. Are those the self contained K-planes? Are they 110's or 150's ?

    K planes are 110

    The planes are K PLANES, They are model 110. They have the ram built in. There is a 3" hole in the transom to facilitate the ram. They came with a small well built pump for each side. I paid $1200. They were new. I got them in Ft Pierce Florida at the Marine Connection. They had four there. I would bet the others are still there if you are looking for a set. I think they are the coolest.
    Thanks for the prop advice.

    Forgot to mention the gear ratio is 2:40. From what I could gather either a 22 or 23 HIGH 5 would do it. What do you think??
