    618/150 G2 HO Prop Suggestion

    looking for some Help I have a 2018 618 with 150 G2 HO Tec. Has 22 Raker HO prop. Great holeshot but can't get it over 58-59 and I feel it should do low 60's.
    Have a Atlas plate and have been playing with it but still can't get it over 59. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I'm surprised that you're surprised. Z118 with 150 typically runs 56-58, so you're running a bigger, heavier hull with 150 and going faster. There may be a prop or jack plate that will squeeze one more mph out of your rig, but it's already running exceptionally well.

    My thought process is that there are a couple of guys with 175 Merc's doing low 70's and G2 150HO is close in horsepower to the G2 175 ETEC so I thought low 60's would be reasonable?
    Maybe I'm off base.

    How many rpm's are you getting at WOT at 59 mph?

    Have the prop B&B and you should pick up 2-3 mph.
