Not to worry Kent, the "lugging" that Dan was referring to implies the
use of large throttle openings at low rpms. Kind of like trying to drive
your car at 25 mph in fifth gear. A propeller with too much pitch could
have a similar effect. Since the max. speed of Potters is limited by
their inability to plane to 6 knots or so, using a propeller optimized
to push an inflatable to 15 kts. at max. rpm may result in the engine
not reaching the rpm where it's max. power is produced when used on the
Potter.
