Hi,

Hopefully VMS will chime in or someone that has some knowledge or experience with this, but I have a Suzuki DF140 on an 1850 Fishhawk and three weeks ago when I had it out I got a nice 48mph out of it. I did however forget to look at what my RPMs were. Yesterday I had it out again, but this time we had a third guy, 80lb Terrova and the two xtra batteries. Seemed a little more sluggish and my top end was 41-42mph and my RPMs were around 5400. Max RPMs for that motor is 5800-6200. The prop I am running I believe is what was on there when the first owner purchased the boat. It is an aluminum 3X14X23. I would like to have a prop that will get me to my max rpm but will also provide good power and performance. The boat will also be used for family for tubing and that sort of thing. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Craig
