I am new to posting here, but have read lots & lots & you guys seem great & maybe someone will know what prop I should be running. I have a 1987 181P stratos That underwent a cap off restoration & it's pretty nice (I could put some pictures up if I new how lol) & Thought I would go with a different motor. I have rebuilt & installed a carburated 2000 Johnson 150 with a 20PX14 1/2 Raker prop & a 6" cmc hydraulic jack plate Speedo says 58 mph rpm's 5800, w/ prop shaft 3 1/2" below the pad (followed directions posted here, many thanks..) motor trimmed up. I don't have a water pressure gauge, but it is on the way. My manual says motor should run 5500 RPM tops. I know a guy that has a 22PX14 1/2 raker for sale would it be better for my set up, or is everything wrong?
Thanks allot
