Looking for different kinds of props for my Johnson. (Sounds kinky)
any way, is Raker the best prop for an OMC motor. I've got a 19 1/2 foot Skeeter with a Faststike 150. A bit under horse powered but I don't want to spend the extra money to go to the 200 hp.
I'm running a 24 Raker now. Had Mark blue print but didn't help anything. May lost 1 mph.
Just looking for ideas.
Thanks
Mike

I personally have found the 4 blade props work better on the rigs that I have helped setup. You might lose 1-2 mph, but what you gain in handling and drivability will outweigh it in my opinion!
You may want to look at a 25 Tempest 3 blade or go like WD says a 4 blade gade. The gade will help with that heavy hull and 150 motor you sure aren't gonna have a 70 mph hull, mid to upper 50's best I can see but the 4 blade will help out on bow lift.
Try the 23 Gade, it worked well on a Stratos 201 with a 150. Sounds like about the same setup.
