"Hi, I have a Tolman Skiff 22
"Hi, I have a Tolman Skiff 22 ft long. Its powered by a Honda 90. We have a 2001 Tohatsu Kicker on it for trolling and emergency power (we have only had to use it due to fouled prop and water in fuel).
Somebody told me you could buy props for a 2 stroke motor to get more of a high thrust appearance. The motor will push the boat to about 4.5 kts easy at one half throttle, which is all I need, and pushing the throttle up on the 9.8 makes a lot of noise, uses gas, and bubbles start shhowing up in the prop flow.
going slow is fine at 1/2 throttle except if I need to go into the wind....
does anybody know of a good prop I coul dput on this and do you think it would help at all or get more torque for going into the wind...??
Thanks Dave"
