Looking to purchase new prop for my 2002 DV-16 with a 40 ELPTO. I was curious to know what prop others with the same boat and motor are getting the best TOP SPEED from. I was told by Tracker that the boat called for a
10 3/8 x 14 prop. Before I buy a new/spare prop I thought I would get some opininos. Again, I would be looking for top speed. The prop that is on there now is a 10 1/2 X 13. I was running 5200 RPM at WOT with full tank of gas and just me. I was able to go 22 mph. The max RPM for my boat is 5500-5600. Should I try to squeeze a few more MPH out of her with maybe a four blade prop or what? I know that I only have 300-400 RPM's to play with. Thanks.
