Can anyone tell me what size prop I should be running on my yamaha 115 4-stroke ? My boat is a 1850 Crestliner fishhawk. Right now my prop size is 13X19 and it runs at 5800 rpm's and the best top end speed is 39 mph (gps speed). Can someone tell me if this about right ? Is there a better prop out there that would give me more proformance ?

Thanks, Jeff

Jeff, I also have this same motor, but on the 1750 fishhawk. About all I can get out of it is 43mph tops. So your 39mph on the bigger boat sounds about right to me. Nice rig though right? Although I do get soaked in heavy seas with a cross wind, a little disappointed in that.
