I Have a 19ft deep v boat with a 135 evinrude on it. At full throttle I turn about 5100-5200 rpm, what size prop would you recommend for a few more rpm’s. There is a 15 on it now. With the same prop it is slower than my 115 that was on it before . :confused:

Re: Prop Question

Try something that costs nothing but a little time. Raise the motor (increase the X dimension) on the transom. You didn't mention what style prop you have but I suspect you can use all the trim without blowing out. raise it and let us know what happens. Your RPM should start to go up and so should speed slightly.<br /><br />Good luck!
