39 horse power should get you across the pond.     %)

Think you need to join this lot matey   .....They might have a lot more knowledge about this sort of thing than we mere modelling mortals will have about the subject........

I suppose the principle is the same but on a larger scale. When we over prop we get heat and smoke but were on the bankside not sat in the boat smoking with it! %% %%

Size of boat and prop will depend on whether you want to go watersking really  {-)

yes there are several formulas kicking around, along with several charts to give an approximation of:
: prop size and pitch for a known horsepower and rpm of the motor
: if the boat's weight and size are known & you know what speed you wish to go - there is a formula for that as well
but first of all; you need several known factors
output shaft rpm of the motor, weight of the boat (in this case its going to be a displacement weight) and we need to calculate the block co-efficient

For a semi displacement hull, the block co-efficient should fall between 0.4 - 0.45

For a displacement hull, the block co-efficient should be between 0.45 - 0.55
K = speed in knots
Bhp = brake horse power at the propeller

K x √bhp
displacement in tons


This should give you some idea of the formula which you require
