Finally got the rigging done

Finally got the rigging hose and got the new mercury rigged properly. I used some quarter inch starboard and fit everything in the best I could.

Yes, the 15.25 X 19 definitely performs better than the 14.25 X 18. The boat seems more responsive and faster with the bigger prop.
