Xpress H18 new engine

[Troy1985]

So I just replaced the Yamaha 115 on my H18 with a 150 Sho. I'm curious about the setup, I'm currently getting about 58mph 5500 RPM with a 23 pitch powertech, Prop to pad is about 5 3/4", with a 6" manual JP. I know that height to low, but how much should I move it up to start? Start with 5 and go up from there or is that still way to low for this boat/motor. Also, any prop recommendations? I know PT is pretty well hated on this forum.

Try 3.5" PTP and fine tune up 1/4" at a time until you lose speed than drop back 1/4".
