RPMs in WOT

[drbarbara]

What I am worried about is that a 19 pitch might be too steep and that I should be looking for a 17 or even a 15 pitch. Yesterday another guy told me that the 302 was a very "short" engine and that it did better in low RPM's generating a lot of torque rather than in high RPM's.

As far as the year of the engine I am not sure but probably mid or late 80's. The hull is originaly 1967.

thanks again
