I think I gonna get a 14 x 11 I just can't get any speed and my rpms are at 4850. I have the entire city on my toon everytime we take her out. I don't think the 16" will be good on my outboard.

Ya, we cart half the city around too!
Havent had half the city on there with the new prop yet though.
Most was 6 of us, 3 being teenagers, and i was still able to reach WOT, 4800...
Im sure once we stuff it with 12 circus clowns i wont be able to reach WOT, but then, who cares.. LOL
I only used to be able to reach like 3400 with 12, so ill guess ill be able to reach just under 4000.
WOT for my I/O is 4400-4800.

14 x 13 with a 115 i was expecting more but its 16 years old wood seats and lotsa weight. The 11 should make me happy. I prob need to rebuild carbs too just not sure if I want to do it durin summer.
