Post Backwater 35..
How big of a prop can I run on a backwater 35? I currently have a 9x8. I can't seem to find any info as backwater only lists the 9x8 as the biggest. I seem to have enough rpms to go bigger.

What are your rpms?
Are those rpms loaded or unloaded?

FWIW...They put the 10x6 on the 37 EFI motors.

Tiny tack bounces in between 4300-4400. It's not floating the valves lol... that's all unloaded. I looked on their website and didn't see that big prop. Do you think there will be any advantage?

Not apples to apples. Just to give you some kind of comparison, I had the 10x6 on a 31hp godevil long tail, it would run 20mph @3600rpm light hull. With me, my wife and little boy, and fishing load (48q ice chest, small tackle box and 2 fishing poles) best I could get was 13mph. I would prolly try a 10x4, or run light loaded and with a full load and see where your speeds and rpms are with your existing prop, and go from there!

I see hill racing makes a 9x9, would that be better?
