    Get the 150. You can always throttle back to 2/3 rds and you'll get as good or better fuel economy as you would the 115 at wide open or 3/4. Plus, if you ever decide to sell the boat, it will sell...

    I had a PII back in the 90's that had a Malibu Silver boot and hull. I would stay away from any "disco" colors on the boot though.

    IF the pitch is actually true, both props would be identical in terms of pitch, which, in theory, is how far the propeller travels through the water each revolution. Of course, none of them actually...

    Your statement makes no sense, logically. If you have a prop that is a lower pitch, your hole shot will be QUICKER. What is your water pressure at wide open throttle? On a boat like yours, a typical...

    If you are limiting your $$ to between 30-40 K, you will be limited in what boat you can buy new. Almost ANY glass boat with a 200 hp engine is going to be over 40K. I personally would avoid a Nitro...
