    I’ve got a Alumacraft Backtroller 17 (85 model) with a 50 Merc tiller (’05 model)w/2 batteries and weigh 210(beefy ) and have a 10 1/2 x 13 on it. Works well for me. Hope this helps.

    If you fish solo,I would start with a 14p(aluminum),or a 13p(stainless).Really helps if you have a tach.Most dealers will let you exchange props if you don’t damage them.
