what prop for a 1995 181 w/ 150 Johnson?

[bensford66]

I'm thinking of getting a new prop for my rig, and wonder what are the top two or three options?

You might post all you numbers such a prop to pad, current prop, water pressure, current wot RPM'S. Do you have a plate? If so, how big? Pat can probably help you with your question. This will help everyone give you some suggestions if we know where you are currently set. You might even post this in the prop section and setup section.

I run just fine now in the low 60's, I don't know what prop I run right now as it has no markings except the ones I put in it from a sandbar this last summer (that moved me from the mid 60's to the low 60's)... anyway, I am as always 3.5" below pad, w/ manual jack plate. I asked this question last year and then didn't have the extra money for a new prop, so I am asking again in hope to retain the info this time.

24 Raker for a 3 blade or 23 renegade. look on your hub there should be a number and prop diameter amd pitch.

I found my 187/175 Johnson ran better with the 25 Tempist over the 24 Raker that came on it. I have not tried a RakerII on an older hull yet but the Tempist (23) is what I ran on my 181 150 Yamaha and my 187/ with both the Johnson and the Yamaha. It just lifted better than the standard raker. Like I said everyone is raving about the Raker II, Fred would be your man on that one.
