signature boat is an inflatable, motor is 20 hp EFI 4 stroke
With two aboard I am running 23 mph @ 6200 rpm. Max is 6300 rpm. Planes fast and smooth
Will have 4 aboard at times and have a 8" prop I can install in place of the 10" as I'm sure the added weight will make it difficult to plane. If I leave the 8" prop running solo or with just 2 aboard how much speed can I expect to lose? Guessing I will have to back out of the throttle to keep from over revving the motor.
