[QUOTE="bean210, post: 380958, member: 5697"] rscottp, you've got me to thinking. I was checking out replacement props for a tohatsu 9.8 4stroke tiller. stock prop is 7" pitch. there is a 5" & 6" pitch prop available. if I thought I could get my boat to plane and top out at 12-14 mph, that would be perfect for me. I could use my boat at the 10hp lakes and still troll at low speeds with the 9.8 at home. the 25hp hp has a 13 pitch prop. it gets out of the hole ok, but if i reduce the throttle at full speed, it starts to go off plane. I dont have a hydrofoil. I hope to lighten the boat a few hundred pounds. hopefully, that will help some I have to admit that this is beyond my boating knowledge. it would be a good choice though [/QUOTE]
