Just bought a 2008 PGV16WT with a 2006 Merc 60 hp 4-stroke. During a checkout run the boat turned 33 mph by speedo with a light load and the engine trimmed up a reasonable amount. The prop is a well chewed up 3-blade 12x22 aluminum and the engine has a1.83 gearing and is mounted on the 2nd hole. Two questions: Is 33 mph a reasonable speed for this combination? And, since I plan to buy a second prop anyway, is there any other prop size/type that I should consider? (The boat would be primarily used for fishing not tubing or skiing.)
