Slip % Target for a Pontoon

[WaterDR]

Prop experts, what is a good target for slip % on a pontoon with a Yam 115? About 15%

Re: Slip % Target for a Pontoon

The size of the boat in relation to the hp would change slip.
prop selection. and boat design.I tests I've read I've seen numbers as high as 37% and as low as 8% (I suspect a tritoon).
While I think 15% may be possible on a regular toon; I think it would be the exception.In my opinion the pontoon would have to be planing to make 15%
From my limited research I think I would be really happy with 20%.I wouldn't be surprised to find it higher.

That'd be my guess, but I have 0 experience tuning a 'toon.
