Location: Madison, WI | I have a 2007 Merc 115 4-stroke on my Tuffy 1760. The current prop I have on it is a solas 13.75 x 15 stainless. My top speed is 38-40 and the hole shot is a bit slow with a heavy load. However my biggest concern is the rpm at WOT, it only runs 5000-5100 depending on trim? My motor should be at 6000 or better so I figure I'm not propped correctly. I would like to stay with stainless so I cannot afford to buy a bunch of props to try out. Anybody have this motor? If so what size prop should I try for best performance? I don't need anymore speed but would like to improve hole shot and definitely get my rpm's up?
