As posted in the pontoon forum, I upgraded my 2 25" toon 2002 2275 RL with a 2006 Mercury 115HP EFI 4 stroke, I did a few runs and consistently see speeds of 22 - 23 MPH with double biminis booted and in upright position, 2/3 tank of gas, and two adults on board. RPMs read 5200 - 5300. Prop looks like a brand new aluminum Mercury H 14 x 13P.
Sound about right? Not having an owner's manual, I'm not sure if I should be seeing higher speed/RPMs.
*edit - chased down the prop model # - Black Max 13 Pitch (14x13) RH Alum 3 BL Mercury Propeller 77340A45
*edit again - with 5 adults on board still hit 21 - 22 MPH at about 5100 RPMs, this with the double bimini deployed. Starting to think I may need some throttle cable adjustments, in other words it might not be the prop holding down the RPMs if that much additional load and wind resistance has such little impact on MPH.
