The right prop

Hey, thanks Deker,

I ran the boat down the river today. Wow, the 14 1/2 X 17 made all the difference in the world. The 150 4s snaps the boat on plane and I got about 47 statute mph @ around 5500 rpm (fish finder and boat speedometer agree within 1 mph). Thats with me,my son, and about 55 gallons of fuel. Pretty sure my economic "cruise" will be around 3400 rpm @ 26 mph. Amazing what the right prop will do for ya. Along with the good performance, she idles down to 800 rpm and trolls @ about 1.5 mph. Nice.

Ron
