Boat is a 22' sports type, probably weighing around 1.2 tons (weight of boat and trailer 1800 kilos) , motor is an early 80s Evinrude 90.
Unloaded the motor spins happily up to +/- 6000rpm but underway the stern just digs down and we max out at about 5 knots and 2000 rpm.
Current prop is stamped 13-3/4x15
I accept that I may not have enough engine for the boat, but wondered if I can get some more performance with a lower pitch prop?
Thanks in advance for any help.
