I talk about my Skimmer Skiff 16 Prop Selection on the 30hp vs 60hp and performance differences on both motors.

Thanks for the video, trying to properly prop my boat I just put a 60hp tohatsu on. I was planning on a 11.1x15p SS. Looks like the 11.1x14 is probably my better choice.

Depends on what you want. I prefer staying in between 5200-5500 so I give up some hole shot for cruising efficiency. On my ankona cayenne with a tohatsu 60, I use 11x16 aluminum and cruise at about 37-38mph at 5200 rpm.

How much does the hull weigh. I just put a 60hp on my 18ft aluminum deep v. It’s a pretty light gauge aluminum so not a heavy boat. Just curious what speeds I can expect with the standard 12x16 prop

What are the two pee looking holes on the back of the 60? The bottom one seems to be missing a threaded piece??

Do you see any differences in running in shallow water with the long shaft on the 60 vs the short shaft on the 30?
@bigadventure37972 жыл бұрын
No. The orientation depth of the motors are the same. They must be for proper operation.

Are you happy with your jackplate, or would consider it necessary ? Also, noticed you don't have any trim tabs, you ever feel like you need them on this boat?
@bigadventure379711 ай бұрын
Yeah I'm happy I went with the bigger motor definitely better when there's more than one person on the boat and it gets better holeshot. I don't feel I need trim tabs.

Yeah the Jack plate is a must if you're doing a lot of shallow water

I'm running a skimmer 16 with a 50hp Tohatsu. right now I have the factory 3 blade on it but it is mangled. would you recommend a four blade or should I go with the 3 blade like you did with the 14 inch

What kind of fuel consumption per hr and speed you get at 3500, 4000 and 4500rpm?

Not sure I just know it's very good. I go on multiple fishing trips before I need to fill up.

Where did you get your skimmer skiff? Also, I was thinking of going with a 30HP on my build. What 4 blade prop did you use on the 30HP
@bigadventure3797 Жыл бұрын
From the Factory. It's been awhile so don't remember the pitch of the 4 blade but you can simply use a prop calculator online.

I ordered 2 powertech props for my 50hp on my 16. Both with a 14 pitch. Excited to see what results I’ll get. Right now I’m getting about 36mph with the stock prop maxing at 5300rpm.

You could prop it higher than 6k rpms with 1 person in the vessel. Maybe 6,200 with 1 person and you might add a couple more mph.
