Subject: Re: 50hp to 60hp





Location: Not far enough north!		Well the prop is a 14. Which is what I thought. I also did some checking and rpms should run between 5500 and 6000 at WOT. I dont pay that much attention but I think I'm getting around 5000 to 5100. However I do not know how accurate the tach is on the boat. I am not that concerned with top speed too much but I think going to a smaller prop and gaining those rpms I'd probably not lose any top end but improve the hole shot...
There is nothing wrong with the engine and is very solid. So if there is not much to gain your right it would not be worth the money at all. Thats why these forums are so valuable. I'm starting to like this dealer a little more he could have easily said that a 60 would have made a difference and tried to sell me one... I guess I'll start looking at props. Im sure there have been some vast improvements in the last ten years.
Thanks
Rick
