Current Specifications
Boat: 1993 Lowe 1448M weight~ 360 lbs 15 foot boat, flat bottom
Motor: 1993 Evinrude 30 HP weight~80 lbs
Gas Tank, Battery, Driver weight ~ 250 lbs
Total Weight ~680 lbs
Current Propeller: 10x13 aluminum (moderate nicks, wear etc)
RPMs = 4600 WOT
Top Speed 29 mph
Conditions
flat water or slight chop
70 degree outside, 62 degree water
motor is mounted up ~2 inches higher running at maximum height/performance
Boat mainly used for fishing/utility, max weight would be 1000lbs, boat, motor, gear and humans
I have gone through the prop charts and to increase the RPM I would need a 4" pitch change going from a 13 to 9, sounds pretty radical?
I believe WOT recommendations are 5200-5500 for this motor?
Recommendations Please, looking for top speed,
Thanks all, I have been digging through threads to get the Tach setup, and raise motor etc.
