[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 430885, member: 9937"] I ran a 25 hp 1988 Johnson on my old 1440. It was a little heavy, trolling motor, battery, casting decks. The motor had the stock 15 pitch prop. I was running 32 mph with it. Once I hit 33. It was downright scary. I can't for the life of me remember the RPMS I was turning. But I was to say it was around 5500. Biggest thing is to have a tach. If you go to a 15 pitch and you lug the motor at below the recommended WOT rpms your just looking to wear a motor out prematurely. With just yourself in the boat a 15 pitch may be ok. With 3 guys I have a feeling it won't turn the proper rpms [/QUOTE]
