Does anyone have the same kind of boat and can give info of a prop that works the best for them. Our boat is a 97 year lund with a 9.9 4 stroke. Boat cavitates getting on plane and does not seem to run to the potential at top end. From 3/4 throttle to full throttle very little extra performance. Hoping to save some time with trial and error from trying differant props. The current prop is a s/s/ 19 pitch from mercury.

I don't have the exact boat/motor as you, but from other setups similar, I think you may be overpropped for that big of boat with a 115. We just setup a 115 honda with kicker on a 17 1/2' boat, and the best performance was with a 17P stilleto 3-blade. I run a 19P on my 135 merc pushing a 1850 tyee & still have a 200 rpm's before maxing out.
Good luck,

Brad
