Hello,
Where did you find the tall stainless rail at the stern?
All the best,
George

Hi George,
The rail came with the boat when I bought it so I’m afraid I’ve no idea where it’s from.

Hi, great boat. I have just purchased one but only get 9knts with 20hp 4stk merc. Could you tell me your prop pitch pease?

[@mattryland949]

Hi,
The boat came with an 11 x 9 prop but I could only get about 4800rpm at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) and a top speed of 12 knots with just me on board.
I swapped it for a slightly larger diameter 9.8 x 9 prop. So that’s 0.8 inches extra diameter but 2 inches less pitch.
Now I get 5800-5900 rpm at WOT and that’s nicely within the 5000-6000rpm range the outboard manual says you need. The highest speed I’ve had is 15-16 Knots with just me on board.
The 25hp is a 3 cylinder so will produce more torque than a 2 cylinder 20hp so I’d say yours might need a slightly smaller diameter prop than mine. You could try a 9 x 9 perhaps.
Getting the outboard into the correct rev range is most important as the top speed varies so much depending on weight, weight distribution, wind and tide. With 4 people on board I only get 6 knots and yesterday I went out on my own and only got 14 knots as there was a bit of wind. I generally cruise around at 4000rpm which gives me about 8 knots on my own or 6 knots with 4 people on board.
Hope this helps,
Matt
