Jeff has a 25 pitch Laser II that is too much pitch for his CVX-18 that he might let you try.

I think the 25 would be to much for my boat as well me and Jeff should have around the same HP.
I think this has become an addiction.

I would think that a 23 would be the top of where you would want to go.  It really all depends on the actual WOT rpm when you get the carb opening up all the way.
