[QUOTE="traybore, post: 364489, member: 9088"] I have a 16ft bass tracker with a 40HP and 13P prop. Trolling motor and battery in the front as well and a 15Lb anchor and anchor winch. With myself and one other in the back of the boat it jumps on plane immediately and runs around 28MPH. When I add two more people (total weight about 220LB) toward the front, it plows and will barely make it to 18MPH. Obviously weight is an issue, but my question is can this be corrected by dropping the prop down to a 12 or 11P? Or is this only correctable by moving weight around? I don't want to spend money on another prop if its not going to make a difference. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
