I am running a 40 evinrude on a 97 Lowe 160spl. I’m 250lbs, and may fish with one other. We don’t have much gear I’m a minimalist when it comes to gear. There is a 13x11 prop installed on the motor now, and I’m only getting. 25.4 mph, per garmin gps.
This seems a little slow for the boat. I’m installing a tiny tach, to see what rpm’s I’m running.
Everything I have read leans towards a 12.25x15 prop. Since I’m new to the world of outboards, is there anyway to test drive props to see what would work best. What prop would you start with to get the best performance out of my boat?
I have attached the boat specs. Thanks for the advise.
