i have a 1983 evinrude 115hp and a 18ft dixie bassboat, i am looking for advice on getting the most speed but not hurting my motor.. this will be just an occasional prop i use, i live on a big lake and cross it alot. im just looking for a prop to give me the most speed. im not to worryed about my hole shot just top end... ofcorce if i want to play around i will switch to my 17pitch, but im just wondering if maybe a 21 pitch... or something like that is worth my 200$ or will it just bogg and blow up my motor..

You need to prop your boat according to the RPM at WOT.
Do you know what RPM you are turning?
