How much does my boat weigh? prop size?

[MC Degner]

At WOT, I am way over the redline and think I am underpropped. I have a 1984/5 ish Bayliner Trophy Bass 17 ft. with a 90 hp Johnson. Does anyone know how much this setup would weigh? Or, what size prop I should try?

(Additional weight: trolling motor, two batteries, anchor, usually around 6 gallons of gas, and three people.)

Thanks in advance.

I trailered mine to the scale at my local landfill/transfer station. No charge.

What prop do you have now and what RPM is the engine turning at WOT? without that data, we can't be much help.

Trophy weighs 1496.I assume that includes the motor as it was a package.
That is dry weight.By the way not to big a deal but it is rated at 85hp.
