Prop advice for repower
Thinking of going from a 150 opti running a 21 tempest to a brand new 150 etec gen 1 on my ranger 188vx. The boat was sloooow with that 21. How much can I get away with On a raker and adding a 8 inch plate? Opti had no plate.

You may be able to turn a 24 raker light but a 22-23 would be my guess.

If it is an ETEC HO then I would try a 24 pitch Raker.

I have a raker II 22p on my 188dvx with a 150 HO Etec. I added a 6" jackplate as well. It runs about 58 to 59 by myself. About 56-57 with two ppl. With live wells full and fuel tank pretty full it might hit 54 but it takes a while to get there. Hole shot is terrible with live wells full and two ppl. With 3 ppl someone has to get on the front deck for it to plane out.
I would sacrifice a couple mph if I had a better hole shot loaded.
Anyone tried a 21p with this setup? Is that even a thing?
