hi all
i have just bought a merry fisher 585 with a suzuki df70 on the back, its kitted out for the weekends full fuel tank etc. it has a standard 17 pitch prop.
with 4 on board we are hitting only 3000 revs and digging in at the stern and not getting on the plane with out moving every one forward. with two on board it hits 5000 revs and gets on the plane slowly.
has anyone else got this boat and have they tried a 15 pitch prop? other advice welcomed
