I have an older Starcraft 1436 mated with a 1975 Evinrude 9.9 that I recently converted to 15 hp with a Carb and a Boysen Reed kit. The boat itself is a bit heavy as I have decked out the front, carry 2 batteries, have a live well and travel with a bit of gear. Right now I have a 9.5 x 10 prop on it that at WOT attains 4000 rpm. From what I understand I should be topping out somewhere between 5500 and 7000 rpm for this engine to attain it's maximum HP.
What I want to do is try some different props with it until I find the one that gives me the RPM I need
Specifically 9.25 x 7, 9.25 x 8, 9.25 x 9, 9.25 x 10.
Here is the problem. I just can not afford to purchase all of these props to test them out.
I was hoping that perhaps some of you may have these props and would be willing to lend them out for a short period so I could test them.
I would be happy to pay the shipping to do this and your help would be greatly appreciated.
