    what prop do you think?

    got a 1994 tidecraft 17ft with 1994 150 evinrude.

    It is 2 1/2 inch below pad, no jackplate

    has a Raker 14 1/2 x 24 prop

    good hole shot
    62 mph top end

    but SUCKS the gas and RPM pushing 5000 at 62 mph

    Is there a prop for boat that would do better on gas and would still do good fishing?

    Would adding a jackplate help at all?

    appreicate it

    sounds like it's doing pretty good...low 60's for a 150 is bout where alot of em are...of course a jackplate would get ya a little more speed
