130 Super Sport @ 6,000 feet.

I am considering purchasing a new 130 Super Sport. In addition to using it in coastal waters, I would like to use it at Lake Tahoe @ 6,000 feet. Is changing the prop pitch enough to still get up on a plane, with a full tank of gas and 2-3 people in the boat @6000 feet?

Hi @RichardJohnson we suggested connecting with a local dealer in Tahoe for assistance and recommendations. Mercury Marine's website is also a useful resource. They have an online prop sector tool to help guide you to a correct pitch and diameter for elevation: https://www.mercurymarine.com/en/us/propellers/selector/#!/step-one

Just figure you'll be down in power about 20%.
