Hello, I did some searching and needed some help deciding on a propeller for my specific situation.
I have a 15ft aluminum Jon boat(1985 Fisher Hawk 1542 I believe) with a casting deck like a bass boat and storage. Don't know exact weight but it has a 25hp Johnson with a mini jacker plate because its a long shaft motor. Current propeller is an aluminum 10.5 x 11 and works great but I would like to increase my top speed. I took a tachometer and with me by myself top speed is about 21mph and the engine revs out at about 5800rpm. If I add another person I can still get about the same top speed and the boat jumps on plane fairly quickly. If I have a third person it takes a little longer but planes out and still gets up to about 18-20mph but I haven't tested the rpms with 3 people on it but feels like it is still in the 5k range maybe. My goal is to raise the top speed with me on it I think this thing has some more room for pitch but wanted to see if anybody has any experience with a setup like this.
Here are some options from Solas aluminum 3 blade all about the same price of $60-70 online:
10.3 x 12 2211-103-12
10.1 x 13 2211-101-13
10.0 x 14 2211-100-14
Here are options for the Turning Point Propeller Aluminum 3 blade (hub is separate)
Hub Kit 11200200 $30+/-
10.125 x 13 21201310 $60+/-
What do Yall think? I would like to get up to 26 to 28mph
