"I have a 14' G3 aluminum flatbottom running a 96 model 25 HP Johnson.
Current prop is a 10.5x11. The WOT with me, a tank of gas and small amount of gear is between 3800 and 4200 depending on current and wind. GPS speed is 22-24 mph. Should I change the prop? I would like some recommendations.
Dealer told me WOTshould be 5500 rpm."



I stated in my previous thread (shown above) the information about my motor and prop. I have since discovered that I had some wrong information regarding the prop. It is not a 10.5x11. The actual size of the prop I have is a 10x15.
Sorry for the misinformation. But it does bring up the original question about recommendations regarding the prop. Should I be using a different size prop? What are some recommendation?
Thanks!

Re: Gave wrong information

A 10x9 would get your RPMs up to 5500.
