I have a 24' pontoon with twin 25" tubes. It came with a merc. 60hp Big Foot, efi, 4 stroke. By myself on a cool day I might almost see 21 mph.
Its got a 115 on it now.
I can't see yours doing less unless there's a problem.
What is WOT RPM?
this is the spot on advice. It doesn't matter what a gear ratio is or anything else.
You have a starting point and should just go from there.
You didn't say if you had a 3 blade or a 4 blade, that makes a difference also in rpm's with everything else being equal.
Increasing pitch, diameter, or...
ok...good for you...sundance...
I don't really care what you feel, or claim about your markmanship....
the op wanted a solution for squirrels around and in his boat.

I had a leak a few years ago. The...
see the vertical welds on my one toon? My 25' toon has three seperate sections, a nose, middle, and aft toon sections, identified by these two vertical welds. If you have sections I would think you'd have welds like that. Each section has a plastic, screw in plug on top, no drain plug.

I took a picture with measurements of the original decal on my trailer. Specified what color changes I wanted, and emailed all of it to this local Co.
They emailed back proofs, I accepted, and they made four for me.
You should be able to do like wise locally
Couldn't have been easier.

It's my boat. No,... lake, river only. Actually, just river. They were there when we took it to the lake last week...
