Prop change time. I hit 26mph with a tail wind, lame. Min WOT on the motor is 5500 and I was at around 5300, so I'm under propped for sure, so now I'm wondering if I should go with a 15 or 17 pitch.
Here are the numbers: Hull is a Hobie Power Skiff, 15ft modified V-hull, Suzy DF-50, 2.27 ratio, 5500-6500 WOT range, currently have a 13 pitch OEM Suzy prop doing 26mph at 5300rpm. Prop calculators have me at .095 slip, is this normal? Hole shot is rediculous, almost no bow-rise. I want balance, not top speed, so I'm leaning towards 15. Let me know if I don't know what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance!
