I have read on this forum to pick a prop based on the normal load in a boat. Like if my boat is supposed to run 4600-5000 rpm, pick a prop that will do that with the normal load in the boat. I just talked to mercruiser and they recommend running the boat with 2 people and a half tank of fuel and pick a prop that runs in that 4600-5000 rpm range. But if I do that, and then load the boat up with 6 people, full fuel, and all gear.....Won't it be to much prop at that point? I mean a little weight makes a huge difference. The reason I ask is because I want holeshot and don't want to have a prop pitched to high.
