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
