[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 245669, member: 7791"] Well I don't have the same motor or boat but I have a 87 15hp johnson with a 9.5X10 on it and on my 14ft tinnie V hull she does real good up to about 1000lbs and not to much after that I cant get it on plane. I usually run with 750-850lbs and the motor does well but could probably do better with a 9X9. You won't gain much speed if any going up just one pitch. I bet your running the correct prop. I have thought about putting a 9X9 on mine so that I could plane with my wife and both kids in the boat but decided to just put a larger motor on. I highly doubt you are running over the WOT recommended RPM and you will drop a couple hundred by going up in pitch. [/QUOTE]
