I have a 24" pontoon that does not have the original motor, someone replaced it and it came with a standard 3 blade prop. Well the prop is slipping so it's time to replace it with a prop designed for pontoons, I'm not concerned that I get the most dialed in, perfectly matched prop that can be had, I would like to get something that would be pretty close to ideal as can be figured out with my limited information. Also I plan to order one from this website so I cannot swap out different props and such. Below is what information I have, so I hope someone can help me out.
1992 24" Party Barge
8' wide by 24' long, with 21" logs, I could not find any onfo on the weight, but a sticker says "Limit 2300lbs people, gear, motor.
Maximum recommended HP for boat is 115HP
Normally at least 6 people and lots of gear with 20 gal. of gas.
Motor is a 1986 Johnson 90HP VRO OB, model #J90MLCDC
Gear ratio is about 2 to 1
No hydrofoil or trim tabs, etc.
Anti-ventilation plate is about 9" below water line on logs.
The current prop is 13.25 X 17 3 blade but I suspect it is from different boat.
I believe WOT is 5500RPM from what I have read.
I never had a chance to see what the maximum speed would be with the prop that is on it now.
Elevation in Indiana is around 700 feet.
Motor has been tuned and runs very strong, carb butterflys open 100%.
Hope this enough info...
Thanks!!!
