What is your maximum WOT now with the prop you have? http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...cle_id=108 How high is your motor mounted. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...cle_id=106 Here are other 21' Banana hull owners http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=97

There are an awful lot of different outboard motors made over the last 40+ years that one could call a "115 Evinrude". Ideally you should tell us the year, shaft length and gear ratio as well as the WOT RPM range of the motor you have. Some insight as the motors viability would be good to know as well as how you intend to mount it. If you tell us that, we can offer some propeller suggestions, but there is far more to consider than just pitch when selecting a propeller.

Larry -- Why would you assume the unidentified motor has a 2:1 gear ratio? What model of Evinrude 17" pitch prop are you recommending? At what RPM will he hit with that Evinrude 17" pitch prop?

If we assume the boat is capable of 36-38 MPH then you would probably make best use of the 13-1/4" x 17" BRP SSP, the 13-7/8" x 15" BRP Viper, the 13-1/4" x 15" Stiletto Advantage or 14" x 15" Stiletto Star.
