Wes,

If the boat seems slow, and will not reach the recommended WOT range of
5000-5500 rpm, then you need a lower pitched prop, not a higher pitch. What
rpm do you see now at WOT?

Wes used the 14 x 17 but it seemed to not use the whole bandwidth, the
boat seemed slow and the motor wouldn't reach WOT I suspect it needed a
21 or 23 the recommened for this boat size and motor is a 13 1/4 x 17
max RPM for the johnson is 5000-5500
