I have a 1992 26S with a fairly clean bottom. It lives on a trailer, so not much growth. I have a Tohatsu 8 HP (MSF8) 4 stroke with a 8.5X7.5 inch prop. I am seeing speeds of 6.1 - 6.3 knots at 3200 rpms with a good bit of weight in the boat (4 people and supplies). I do not see much rpm increase between 60% and 100% throttle. I suspect I might see (maybe slightly) more speed if I were to change to a 8.5X6.5 inch prop. I would also like to have a backup prop on board.
Q1, What props are you running, and what speed?
Q2, How much should I expect to pay for a 8.5X6.5 inch prop?
Thanks
