Ok - quick question for ya'll. Probably a common one but here goes:
1) Performance issue you are trying to correct.
Current prop is sized right for the boat. However, I have started to do a lot of wake boarding, and would like to give up some top end speed for a little better hole shot.
2) Current prop manufacturer, model, aluminum or stainless as a minimum.
Don't know manufacturer, aluminum, 3 blade (I'm guessing the original from 1974)
3) Current prop diameter and pitch (required).
13 and 3/4, 15" pitch.
4) Wide open throttle RPM and speed with an average load (very helpful)
WOT 5500 RPM, about 35 MPH
5) Engine/drive make, model, year, and HP
1974 Johnson 115 outboard.
6) Boat make model, year, length and weight
1974 Reinell T900 (Tri-Hull), 18' 6", guessing the weight is around 2000 lbs dry.
How much pitch change would be recommended to give up ~5 mph top end speed for a little better hole shot?
