I just picked up this motor which I am putting on my 14ft aluminum mod v with 16inch sides, 40inch wideat the floor, and 3/4inch plywood on the floor. I havent actually had it on the water yet but the prop looks kinda small, It doesnt have size stamped in it but I would be surprised if it was bigger than 9x10. I am thinking I will need a bigger prop but just wonderin what you guys think. It would mostly be 2 adults in the boat with normal fishing gear, 50lb battery, and fuel. Thanks

My last 25 HP Rude had a 9 1/4x 11 on it. It was on a 14ft alum boat, and pushed it just fine with two people. The only real way to see, is to put a techometer on it, and see if its running at the rated RPM at WOT.
