Purchased my boat last year - 22 SSRX Tritoon with SPS, Yamaha F150XB
Ran a Reliance 15x15 (4 blade) all last summer and was only reaching low 5000rpms at WOT - hitting low-to-mid- 30mph range.. Took it in for my 20hr service and they put a 14.5x14 (3 blade) on it. First time it started to run it to WOT and it flew past 6000rpms - but i didn't push it to the rev limiter - was in the high 30mph range moderately loaded with both biminis up.
We are now thinking about going to a 14.5x15 (3 blade) to find the sweet spot.
Everything I'm seeing here is folks are running 15x15 props (not sure number of blades) - and I'm surprised I was seeing the numbers I was seeing.
Whose boats have done better with something smaller than the 15x15?
