Re: Quick help-prop!!
If its a bare, tiller jon boat it's about 400-500 lbs if its fancy about 800-900lbs.
With you 20 gallons and the motor A 900 lbs jon all up would be about 1600-2000.
I don't see how a 115 couldn't reach 5500.or more. Take a look at the Yamaha performance reports site.
No jons but several tests of boats up to 3000 lbs Smallest props are 17" RPM from 5450 to 6050.
To give you an idea where we are at My 18ft Bare Crestliner 390 lb. utility with a old 25 hp Gale would plane easily, 20 mph, with
6 adults (150 lbs average) and gear. No special prop.
