Re: Need prop information

Go to the iboats web page for props (click on the propellor picture and the bottom of this web page). They have an excellent discussion of how to choose a prop. They have a chart that lists the recommended rpm for your engine. You need to know what your engine rpm at WOT is for you specific boat/motor combo and your current prop and how you plan on using the boat.
