So I'm new here. I've never done a project with a propeller before so I'm kind of learning as I go but I figured I'd ask a question here in hopes to save myself some time and money. So I built a small go kart sized snow plane. I have a 3 blade 42" prop that's rated for 4000rpms. I have a predator 212cc motor. I'm guessing that's not gonna be enough to push this thing. So I was looking at getting either a 13hp predator or would I need the 22hp predator motor? The 13hp is only rated for 3600 rpms where the 22hp is rated at 4000 but I'm wondering if the 13hp would have enough to move it along. The snowplane with me on it and having the 6hp maybe weighs 250 pounds. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
