[QUOTE]T3clay - 4/30/2018  9:45 PM

Guys, I'm running a 2010 1750 Fishhawk side console with a 115 Merc 4 stroke.  My prop is a SS appolo xhs 13 1/8 X 19.  At WOT I'm hitting roughly 5600 rps and top speed of 28- 30 mph.

I have talked to guys with 60 hp on simialr rigs getting the same speed.  Now I know my rig isn't built for speed but I have also talked to guys running 1750s W/ 115s getting 42 mph.

Also i feel like I'm not getting as much trim as I should be ( trimmed to a certain point and I rev high and drop speed.

Is there anything else I should be looking into?

I'm not very knowledgeable on props  so I was hoping for some recommendations on props to try (size and brands)

Also what is my prop worth used (great shape) and what will a decent new prop cost?

Also my speed is GPS

Thanks for your time!
