Ever wondered what the numbers on your prop actually mean?

Prop pitch is essentially the distance a propeller would move forward in one revolution if it were moving through a solid material. Change the pitch, and you change how your engine performs.

A lower-pitch prop will generally let your engine turn higher RPM and can improve hole shot and acceleration.

A higher-pitch prop will generally lower engine RPM and may increase top-end speed, but too much pitch can keep your engine from reaching its recommended operating range.

As a general rule, changing pitch by 1 inch can affect engine speed by roughly 150 to 200 RPM, although the actual difference depends on the boat, motor, prop design and setup.

The goal isn't simply more speed. It's choosing a prop that lets your engine operate within its manufacturer-recommended wide-open-throttle RPM range while delivering the performance you want.

Not sure if you're running the right prop? Come talk setup with us at Big Water Marine.

You’ve probably seen your boat’s capacity plate. But do you know what all those numbers actually mean? 👀

Your capacity plate gives you important limits for safely loading and powering your boat, including the maximum number of people, maximum weight, and, when applicable, maximum horsepower.

Here’s the part that’s easy to overlook: max persons and max weight aren’t the same thing. Passengers, fuel, coolers, fishing gear and everything else you bring aboard add weight. Just because there’s an open seat doesn’t necessarily mean you have capacity left.

And that horsepower number? It’s the maximum horsepower the boat is rated to handle, not a suggestion to exceed or modify.

Before you load up for a day on the water, take a second to know your numbers. A little knowledge at the dock can make for a safer, better day on the lake.

GO BIG. Boat smart.

We just got back from the annual Highfield Boats Dealer Meeting in Chicago — and 2027 is looking GOOD. 👀

From the luxurious, spacious and seriously fast ADV9, to the fiberglass-hulled Escape 750, to the Patrol 760 with its new hardtop design, Highfield continues to prove why it leads the RIB market.

Whether you’re looking for a tender, a family cruiser, or a boat built for serious commercial, law enforcement or military use, there’s a Highfield for the mission.

And we may have seen a few things we’re not quite ready to talk about yet… 🤐

Highfield keeps raising the bar, and we’re proud to be your North Texas Highfield experts.

How much horsepower does your boat actually need?

It’s a little more complicated than choosing the biggest motor your boat is rated for.

Start with weight. The boat itself is only part of the equation. Fuel, passengers, coolers, fishing gear and everything else you bring aboard add weight, and that affects acceleration, cruising speed and overall performance.

Then think about how you use your boat. A boat that spends most of its time cruising with two people has different demands than one regularly carrying a full crew, pulling a tube or loaded down for a day of fishing.

Your setup matters too. Hull design, prop selection, engine height and weight distribution can all change how efficiently your horsepower is translated into performance on the water.

Your capacity plate tells you the maximum horsepower your boat is designed to handle, but maximum horsepower and the right horsepower are not always the same thing.

A good rule of thumb? Don’t shop horsepower by the number alone. Shop for the way you’ll actually use the boat. The goal is a setup that gives you the performance, handling and efficiency you need for the way you actually boat.

Have questions about horsepower or your current setup? Come talk with the team at Big Water Marine.

GO BIG. Boat smart.
