what prop?

[powerstroker]

I have a enticer and have a 17* prop on there now, need more of a hole shot so thought about going with a 4 paddle?! Does that mean i have to stay with a 17*. If i just get a 19* 3 paddle prop what will that do?? What would you all recommend for my boat?

A 19p 3 blade would make it slower out of the hole, you would need to go to a 15p for a better hole shot. I would of thought that a 17p would give you a good hole shot with a 150.

its not bad, its just not great. I need a new prop anyways and thought i would ask you all what you recommend. i need a better get up and go and a better balance in comfortable 45 mph speed just seems like the bow like to say "hi" to the sky before it planes out good.

Thats all the better it does??? That thing should fly with a 21p on it and maybe a 23p

I would recommend a set of transom wedges to tuck that 150 in on take off, I've had them on a couple boats and they work great on small boats with larger engines, They also eliminate porpoising all together in most cases, and there only about $35.00

Put a jackplate on it and a 23 ptch prop and crank the prop up to 3 inches below the pad

How much is a jackplate for that boat?

Mine was about 225

Dude, Something is wrong with this picture. I just sold (not even picked up yet) my 85' Enticer with a in line 90 hp merc. (All stock - transom mounted.) I had two props for it. A quicksilver aluminum 17" and 19". The hole shot was FAST with the 17" which rendered about 44 mph top speed. The 19" was ok, pushing it to about 47 mph. I'd think a 150 should be screaming on that boat.

I agree! Has the boat ever been worked on i.e. replacement the deck, stringer or transom or ever have the foam removed?
