I repowered my 1988 Stratos 179v Fish and Ski. The original engine was a 1988 Johnson GT 150 and it melted down. I installed a new 1986 Suzuki 150 Super Six and am 20230420_124310_resized.jpg20230421_160058_resized.jpgcurrently waiting on a date for the mechanic to hook up everything.
The prop from the Johnson, a 14.5 x 24 stainless fit the Suzuki, same spline count. Would this be a good way to go or does someone know that this is too much pitch for a Suzuki?
It has now been a couple of months with my new 1986 Suzuki 150 Super Six. It is broken in and runs well. WOT is currently 55 mph and can run all day long. The former Johnson prop has worked well without issues. I did have to buy all new cables and double-steering system. I felt that $7500 was a good deal after all.
