OK, I have been beating a dead horse.
New question. 15 ft sprint bass boat 750# plus fuel, gear, people, another 500# at least, 1200# to 1300#. 40 hp 2 stroke tohatsu. Dropped down from 12 pitch s/s prop no vent holes to 11 pitch aluminum with vent holes. Motor takes a minute to get on plane, but rpms are about right now and top end about 27 mph.
I am going to buy a new prop for it, probably a 10 pitch aluminum.
My question is what kind of difference does diameter make, I have looked at props from 9.5 in diameter to 11.25 inch diameter. Which diameter is best with pitch and boat style and weight. Looking for all around performance, just want to get the best out of my little but dependable 40 tohatsu.
