Ok, I am building a rescue/dive boat, it is 24' tri-toon. I was just given what i think is a 72 Mercury Inline 6 115. Whats the best prop for us? Thanks for any help!

Re: Another "Which Prop?" question...

That motor is rated for 115 at the powerhead and is only about 90hp at the prop. It is probably too small to get a 24 footer on plane unless it is very light. I would try to find the lowest pitch possible. Probably a 15 pitch or even a 13 if you can find one.
