Hi all-
New to this site. My late father-in-law had a Bennington 188L that I "inherited". It is powered with a Honda 40HP (ca. 2006?). Motor runs great. A few years ago, he dinged up the 3-blade 11.25x10P prop. For some reason he replaced it with a 4-blade 11.5x10P. I have no details on the performance of the original, but the current prop max's out at 2200RPM and 15mph. Seems totally over-propped. Would love get as much performance out of the boat as possible. Outside of cocktail cruises, I am pulling 2 small kids in a tube, so I'm not really looking for more hole shot performance, mostly top end speed and RPM so that I am not lugging the motor.
Any advice on prop selection is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
