Thread: Fast Pontoon

  1. #1
    Skaterfast
    Ok boys I'm back. I haven't posted for a few years. Sold the Skater and bought a Playcraft pontooner! This is the best boat I have ever owned, but that's a whole other story.
    So we raised the motor 2 holes and got 400 more rpm out of her. I get 6300 rpm out of her. This is a 225 Honda 4 stroke running a 17 pitch 4 blade. If I need between 5,500 and 6,000 rpm I was thinking of going with a 19" 3 blade. Does this sound right? How many rpm's per one pitch in a prop? Are there any performance props for these Hondas yet? Thanks.

    Don't know, but thats close to 50 mph. With a 19 you might see 54 mph. Good luck.

    It has been fun playing with the set up. I Know my go with a 12 inch set back bracket and see how it changes things. I need to take the tops down someday and see if any speed changes. Miguel with DCB gave me some good information on the set up.
