Location: Waukesha, WI | I am going to swing by the boat dealer to grab a prop to try. It's coming time when I'll have the livewell full for storing suckers and darker earlier every day so I'll be at 10MPH. I can't plane out with three people in the cockpit and the livewell empty until I hit about 20MPH. What I'm wondering is if I drop from the 21 SS Tempest Plus to maybe a 19 four or five blade stainless, might this be the direction to try first? I've seen the hydrofoils mentioned as one option, but I'd rather give up top end speed for planing at slower speeds with more weight aft.
I did try Mercury's prop selector, and it is all over the map from 15 pitch to 20.
Any insight is much appreciated of course. Thanks! Mike
