Thanks Steve. I appreciate the info in the RPMs. I usually only have one other guy in the boat, but after playing around with Mercury's prop calculator, and listening to you guys, I think I should be getting a 10/10.5 P prop as you recommended.

I have been looking for 2000 or later newer 2 strokes or 4 stroke 50hp for the right price, some day maybe.

I will work on finding a 10P and see what my results are from there. Although a new prop might cost an add'l $130, it is still cheaper than having to buy a whole new engine. For now, I will most likely be grinding it out with the ol' 40hp mariner.

Thanks again everyone. Your opinions were reassuring.
