I have a 2005 Yamaha F115 4 stroke on a Sea Pro 190 CC and am wondering if these numbers seem good.
Prop is a SS Rapture 13.25x17RH.

Seems slow out of the hole but I got ~5500 rpm at 32mph today. 3 people(450 lbs) half a tank of fuel, moderate chop.

I'm working through some fuel system issues but does this seem reasonable at WOT?

Thanks

Re: Reasonable Performance?

not a pro here by far but if your gonna carry that kind of wieght I would use less picth and take the strain off that yamaha before you burn it out. less pitch more rpm more rpm more pickup more water toss lightens the load on the engine all the way around and as far as top end speed well it might be worth the sacrafice

Re: Reasonable Performance?

thanks for the feedback. This is the standard motor for this boat and it's rated at 6 people, 900 lbs. The 450 was one adult, 1 teen and a 12 yo. I used one of the prop websites and this was listed. Came with the boat but I'm willing to give up some speed for a better hole shot. WOT range for this motor is 5000-6000rpms.
