    Prop Question On Honda Powered Pontoon

    22' South Bay pontoon with a 115 Honda.
    Dealer installed a new prop on the boat when we bought it. I honestly didn't look to see what size, but will.
    The Honda 115 is good up to 6000 RPMs. The boat is running 30.4 MPH on the GPS, but trimmed all the ay down I'm hitting 6000 RPMs.
    I just figured I would have some trim room before it hit 6000. I'm sure it's propped mainly for pulling tubers, etc., which I guess is OK.
    Could I possibly go up a pitch to get a little wiggle room and still pull tubes (no skiing)???

    Talked to my dealer today. He told me with a light load and 2 people I probably would hit the limiter at WOT trimmed down.
    Said he propped it for a load of 4-6 people, and assorted gear most people put on their pontoon. Guess it makes sense. He offered to let me test different props if I wanted to. Guess I need to try it out loaded first.
