I got a 15/46 alweded boat with a 24 hp beavertail and running 10.5 with me and another guy me 185 him 120 I made him get out with the same load by my self im only running 12.3 is this right or do I need a new prop or is my boat to short my prop is kinda wore but I thought a smaller prop was better for running a heavier load |

2 seasonsis a long time for a prop especially if you run hard or sandy bottom or both, so its more than likely the prop and not your boat |

whoa hold up man. dont go buy a new prop just yet, you need to be looking at what rpm's youre turning at wide open. get a tiny tach if you dont have one. more than likely youre motor isnt 'opening up' all the way |

It can definitely smoke a prop in two seasons. What RPM's are you running? |

the prop only measures eight inches at its longest point tip to tip its a little shorter than that |

it should measure 9 inches, you need a new prop, regardless of whether or not there is/isn't a RPM issue. Put a new prop on it to eliminate that problem, then invest in a tiny tach and post your RPMs in and out of water. we can go from there. |
