I have a 16ft aluminum Lowe sportsman with a 60 hp mercury 4 stroke on it. The rpm range is 5500-6000 rpm's..right now I have the factory aluminum prop on and at full throttle I'm turning 5900 rpm's at 36 mph..I just put a 4 in. Jack plate on it and am at the same place I was..Where I need help is where I go from here..I'm trying to be at 40mph at 6000 rims that way I can run say 5400rpms at 35 mph..Do I put a stainless on there? What pitch? (It has a 3 blade 22 pitch now). Do I raise the motor up 2-3"? Any help would be appreciated
