I wanted to try this again with more info.
The boat is a 20' angler center console, deep v, 80 gallon tank.
the motor is a 2002 mercury 125 saltwater. current prop is a 13x19 black max. with 2 people on the boat, i run about 36kts. but my tach does not work. it does sound like the engine is (winding out) into the upper rpm band. However, my usual load is a full 80 gall, 4 adults, 2 coolers, and gear. With this load, the engine had a hard time jumping out of the hole, and i cannot get my rpms up as high, even trimmed out.
I searched on here for a new prop and looking at the horrible reviews here and else were about my black max prop, ive settles on the hustler prop.
i think id like to stay with 3 blades, so what are your thoughts on dropping to a 17x19?
