Glehav,
Does your 215 have a T-Top? If so it will slow you down a bit. (It's worth it) My 150 Etec tops out a about 35 kts and I have a 14.8 x 15 aluminum prop. About 5200 rpm's. I started out with a 14.8 x 17
(A liitle slow) aluminum and the dealer recommended to try the 15". The SS prop gives you a little more. Last year I went the whole summa' without bottom paint and the boat got slower and slower until I cleaned the hull. I'm painting the bottom this year and am waiting to see the results. (I'll let you know)
Try to find out what size prop your running, I like your numbers and I'll make the switch.
Hope this helps.
