Am I good?

[Lodgepole]

Bought a 21' Lowe aluminum deck boat, Mod 2200 with an OMC 3.0. Prop is aluminum 3 blade 15X17. Runs about 36 with 3 onboard at 4600 rpm. Is this about what I should expect?

Seems reasonable to me.How does the overall performance seem to be?

Comes out of the hole pretty good, but then I haven't pulled a slalom but feel I could pull 2 out with a light load. Wide open RPM is acceptable.
Most charts show a smaller dia prop for this application, but this one came on the boat and seems OK to me.

Generally diameter doesn't enter into the selection unless extreme or there is a clearance problem.Diameter simply follows the design.
