Hello all,
I'm running a 1986 15 hp 2 stroke Evenrude on a 1972 Alumacraft deep-V at W.O.T. i'm getting 18 MPH an 5,450 RPM using a Aluminum Solas 9 1/4 x 10" prop 13 spline. Looking to get the RPM in the 6500 range and wanting a little help as this is the first J-Boat project. Was told after research the rpm range is 5,500 to 7,000 and ideal range for max hp would be 6,250. i need more speed to get on plain with 2 people maxed out at 12 mph and i'm already over propped so what is me best option for pitch to correct my situation. With 2 ppl hull and 2 batteries trolling motor plywood decking and gear I'm at approximately 700 lbs including the 15 hp motor. where as just myself in the boat with same setup I'm getting 18-19 mph. Help
