Suzuki df140a prop question
Today was the first time I ran/got numbers from my new prop recommended by Powertech. I had also consulted Ken with Prop Gods. 14x18 3 Blade SS LNR3. @5500 rpm I got 32mph, @6100-6200 I got 36mph with a full 60gal of gas and just myself. It probably touched around 6300 a couple times when fooling with the tabs/trim (limiter hits at 6500 for 2017 model). It was really windy so I'm guessing maybe with perfect conditions and a half tank I'd hit around 40mph? Now I'm questioning whether I stick to it for thats all she's got, or try the same prop in a 19 or 20P? With a half tank I feel I'll be exceeding 6200 easily? My boat is a 20 with a 2' bracket that also has one hole remaining I can go upon the motor... Any advise or opinions would be appreciated!

Close enough. 40 mph is about the best you will get with that motor, depending on your load.
How's your hole shot? Cruise economy? Minimum planing speed? If you are happy with those factors, quit chasing rainbows. But if you are OCD, and near east central Florida, I have a Powertech PTR 19 pitch 3 blade SS you can try. Lloyd

Thanks for the response Lloyd. Ya I'm somewhat OCD when it comes to my boats lol. Mostly I was going to order the 19P, but the guy with powertech strongly suggested the 18 so I went with his judgement. I actually do live in East Orlando between UCF and DT... That would be awesome if I could try your prop out!? Thanks!
