It doesn't take but a few minor dings and chips to knock it out of balance and or tweak the shape and cupping which will affect the performance in one way or another. Honestly, you really should look for a good used stainless prop. I would start with an Enertia or Tempest, both will be an improvement over the aluminum that you have. Watch the walleyecentral swap board, usually a some decent deals on props show up there in the spring as guys dig there boats out and start looking for the latest and greatest. When buying used make sure it isn't dinged up and hasn't been rebuilt (lots of prop hacks out there).How many RPM do you run with the 19P at WOT and with the 21P at WOT?Also, just for reference, I have to keep my engine trimmed down when pulling the kids around to keep mine from blowing out, this is pretty typical. It's especially noticeable when I have the jack plate set high. When the jack plate is lower, it's certainly less of an issue. You'll have to find the right balance between prop and engine height, there's no perfect setup, there's always a little compromise between handling, hole shot, and top speed, hence why I have two different props.</blockquote>
