Prop question
«

I have a new to me 81 246 FF, with a 98 250 OX66. I was told it had a 15 pitch prop, no markings. My RPM's max out at 5100 with a speed of 40 MPH. Is this about right? Does anybody have a similar boat, what prop and speed do you get?

Wide open RPM looks about right but check with your engine specs. for recommended max.RPM. No experience with your model boat though as far as HP/performance goes.

Sounds like your boat is propped about right, but I would guess that it's a 17 pitch, not a 15 - just a guess!
See ya on the water!
