Hi All, Im new on here. I got a new to me boat, upgrade from my old Boat. Its a 2009 Tracker PRo Guide v16. I have had it out 5 times after setting up the boat how I wanted and getting it running well.
It is a great riding boat for a smaller boat. And it runs about 26mph trimmed out. But is only at 5200 rpms. So I feel there is performance to be gained. I have read that this boat with this motor should be running 30+mph with 2 people and i should be getting 5500-5700 rpm. This tells me I need to change the Prop. I found the prop by running the numbers on the back side of the prop, which tells me it is a Michigan 10- 3/8 x 14. I think with the rpms I am at i can move 2 sizes, but am considering a 4 blade, I put one on my smaller boat and love it.
Can anyone suggest a good prop for my boat or which size I should move to with the information I have given? 3 or 4 blade prop suggestions are both appreciated. Thank you Sincerely Jim
