There is a chart on the website www.boat-propellers.net that says for 3600# you need at least 55#. if you fish current I would use at least 74#. I have a Crestliner 1750 Fishhawk with a 74# Maxxum. I was told that I was over doing it, but I have yet to be out done by wind and current. Musky39

A saying i have heard and believe in is you can never have too much power on the bow just too little power. When in doubt go higher rather than the boarderline of what you may need. You will appreciate it in big wind or waves.
