[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 436442, member: 7376"] Could try it, but if the motor doesn't have enough power to pull it, it's just going to lug the engine more, lose the holeshot, and be more likely to make oil. In my experience, the stock 10" was the best all around, there was no business changing it since it was running 6030 RPM and the recommended max is 6100. That's pretty close. A 12", in my own opinion, would be way too much prop for that boat, especially if there's any load in it. I suspect the top RPM would b down around 5100-5200 RPM, with a real sluggish holeshot and mid range, potentially even slower top speed, but I have not tried to verify-and could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
