I had a 2007 DF 50 pushed my boat great would travel about 30-34 mph downriver, i recently switched to a yamaha F50. lost a lot of top end i travel about 25 - 30 mph downriver. both situations i was by myself..now the big issue is when i have 4 people in my boat i am now having trouble getting on step where as with the suzuki i never had an issue. curious if i should go larger pitch or smaller pitch to push the load. or should i buy the T50 lower unit (high thrust). the gear ratio for the F50 is 1.85:1 the suzuki that i no longer have is 2.27:1 the T50 is 2.33:1. I think buying a prop would be easiest and most cost effective solution but im also looking to gain my top end that i lost. If anyone has any ideas or questions please help me out thank you
