Hey All,<br /><br />I was hoping to find some other people with Aluminum Deep Vee Boat's that have the Mercury 115HP EFI 4-stroke, and find out what prop they have (Brand, Size, Material, etc), and what Results they get (Speed, Holeshot, RPM, etc).<br /><br />Currently I have a 2006 Lowe Fish & Ski 17' with a 2006 Mercury 115HP EFI 4-stroke.<br /><br />It came with a 19 Pitch Aluminum Prop. Which on a fully loaded boat (4-people & fishing gear) would run 40 MPH @ 5200 RPM.<br /><br />I Tried a Mercury Vengeance 18 Pitch Stainless Steel Prop. Which on a fully loaded boat (4-people & Fishing gear) would run 38-40 MPH @ 5400 RPM<br /><br />I then Tried a 17 Pitch Aluminum Prop. Which on a fully loaded boat (4-people & Fishing Gear) runs 42MPH & 5500 RPM.<br /><br />The 17P Prop was the only prop that will plane with 4-people behind the windshield.<br /><br />I also had the engine raised up 1 hole on the transom, which gave me a little better holeshot, and about 50RPM more.<br /><br />The Redline is 6000RPM, but it doesn't seam like I can get the engine to tach out to 6000RPM, and I am thinking if I go any lower in pitch I am going to start loosing Top end.<br /><br />The 18p Prop was the fastest when runing light (2-people light gear), which was 48MPH @ 5500RPM<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />-TheChad
