I've picked up a new to me boat and motor and I'm looking to get the right prop to get the most out of this combo.
Boat: 1978 Mirrorcraft Resort F-4604 14’ x 57” 175 lbs
Motor: 1993 Johnson 20 hp 115 lbs 2.15 gears
Gas and gear: 50 lbs
Current prop: 11x9 aluminum
Baseline speeds:
2 people (390lbs) 32kmh 5450 rpm
4 people (800lbs) 26kmh 5200 rpm
Typical lakes and rivers I'll be on are are at 3000-5000 feet elevation
Mostly use it for exploring lakes and rivers with 2-3 people. Currently it's quick to get plane and handles very well. I wouldn't mind a bit more top end speed.
I've heard a 10.5x11 or 10.1x13 might work well. What would be your recommendations? Things to consider?
