Okay, so Saturday was the maiden voyage for my re-powered 17 foot 1985 Bass Tracker. I put a 1998 Mercury 40hp 2-stroke 3 cy. ELPTO on it with a new Turning Point 10 3/4" x 12p prop(nice holeshot). I know the motors rpm range is rated at 5000-5500 rpms and I was running at 5200 rpms at WOT. My question is... should I be satisfied with this? Or can I squeeze a little more out of it with a different prop and if so, any recommendations to either the diameter or pitch changes.
