Hi Guys, I have a Carolina Skiff with a 15 hp Honda 4-stroke. My problem is when I take my wife and a cooler,my motor won't get up the rpms to get to plane. It sounds terrible. When I'm alone and empty out the boat,it's much better.I own 2 props, a 9 1/4x 9, and a 9 1/2x 8 5/8.It does run a little better with the 8 5/8 pitch. I do not have a tach.I know I probably need a 20 hp, but that's not gonna happen. They make a 9 1/4 x 8, and a 9 3/4 x 6 1/2. What would I expect for change with each of these props ? I really don't want to buy a tach.
