3 blade prop johnson xp150

[scotshoe1]

I am lookin for a 3 bladed prop for a 150xp faststrike johnson ....make and pitch. I hear alot lot that a Raker is the best 3 blade for these outboards. Any suggestion on make and pitch i run a hydrolic jackplate and a hotfoot? BTW 5600 rpms seems to best

You would have better luck posting in the prop forum. Also knowing your WOT and max engine rpm will help the prop guys tell you the best way to go..

Raker is good, Have had a couple of them for 8 yrs but switched to a Mercury Enertia. It think the Enertia is a better prop

Since you have a hydraulic plate and a hot foot we'll assume you have a pad bottom hull. Since you're looking at Rakers we'll further assume you're looking for something that has bow lift. Rakers are very good props but the Turbos are hard to beat. The Turbo Lightning has a lot of bow lift built into it. At 14 3/4" diameter you'll be able to run the plate quite high.

Now if you have a hull that has a lot of natural bow lift (Allison, Bullet, Stroker, Hydrostream etc) the Turbo TXP will work really well. It has a lot of overall lift.

Tell us more about your hull and the prop you're using now. Oh yeah -- and welcome!
