What is the Best prop for this heavy boat with a full tank of fuel and 6 people ??

 

[Stinnett21]

Run it through the Mercury prop selector online. The lowest pitch possible without over revving, tune the motor up, install trim tabs and say a prayer. It's very under powered for that situation.

Which ever prop gets you to 5000 RPM

with 6 people, you are probably in the 13p-15p range. you will need to test.

your boat is over 6000 wet, not including people. so you are at 7k+ if you have change in the pockets

my old searay had the same motor, and only weighted 3000 dry, about 3600 wet, with 4 people I was running a 19p. I thought my boat was underpowered.
