welcome aboard

need to tell us a bit more about the current prop
what is your RPM at WOT

is this a new to you boat?

pontoon motor operation are affected by motor height as well as prop pitch. how far below the surface of the water when running is your AV plate?

Indicate your usually load on board, is it light, medium light or heavy one along with what Scott stated...

Happy Boating

I generally suggest that pontoons, unless they are used frequently for pulling, just use a basic economical 3 blade prop. There's not enough performance there to require much in the way of anything special. If you're pulling, it's not hard to justify going with a 4 blade - but again. nothing special. Alum. work fine.
