I have a 1010204 MERCURY 1984 9.8 wondering what would be the best prop for it for maximum speed

Re: 1984 9.8 Merc propeller

try posting this in the propeller forum you will get more and better answers.... also tell em what boat it is going on, how much it weighs, and :) how much of a load your going to put in the boat regularly.

in example, 9.8 merc, 14ft jonboat with 36" beam (or 48"), weighs 450lbs ready to go, two people 375lbs and 115lbs... 50lbs of fishing tackle.
that helps them alot.

oh and how many RPMs your currently pulling, what prop you currently have, and what your GPS'ed speed is.

Otherwise you got everything down.If you read the stickies at the top of the page
it should help you understand prop selection.With your help we can get you setup.
