[QUOTE="PatinIdaho, post: 364591, member: 14697"] So my boat had a 80 35hp Johnson engine on it with a 10.1/4x14p prop on it and would do 28mph Now boat has a 83 50hp merc. It came with the same size prop and will still only do 28mph as it should with the same prop size. BUT im afraid to just go WOT for fear of ripping my transom off or the seats out of there mounts the acceleration is WAY to much!!! Hitting full speed is almost instant. Its insane!!!!!!!! So I feel I need more prop and to get better top end speed. Anyone have any recommendation? Im thinking 12X16ish or something. I would like to get about 40mph My boat is semi v 14foot with a total weight of about 900ish pounds fully loaded. [/QUOTE]
