    What size prop should I be running?

    I have a 1994 24ft Lowe pontoon boat with a 85hp Yamaha, what size prop should I have on this engine to achieve maximum usage? Obviously I am not looking to go 60mph, just looking for the right pitch/diamter combination to achieve pushing power without burning to much fuel.
