I'm running the stock prop on my 2 stroke 15hp Yamaha and seeing pretty good numbers with lighter loads.
By myself: 24mph
Two people: 22mph
Two people and loaded for fishing: 21mph
Three people: 16-17mph
The boat is a flat bottom Tracker Grizzly 1448 with a manual jack plate and hydro foil. I'm extremely happy with the performance by myself and with two people. My goal is to be able to run 20 with three. I dont mind losing a little top end. Is it possible? What prop? RPMs seem quite a bit lower with 3 on board. Do I need a tiny tach before I go any further? Should I not fool with props and save for a 25hp? Any suggestions appreciated...
Thanks,
Cody
