[QUOTE="gillhunter, post: 301446, member: 5151"] Ictalurus is right. The stock prop that comes with your motor is sized to perform reasonably on any boat you put it on, but may not be the best for your hull. The last Yamaha that I had was a 90hp 2-stroke. It didn't have a rev limiter, that was the function of the prop. The marina tried a couple of different ones until we found one that gave a decent hole shot and would pull 5000 rpm at WOT. I had a 16 foot Lowe deep vee that ran 31 mph with a 50hp 2-stroke Johnson, so I don't know if you are that far off. Nice looking rig by the way. [/QUOTE]
