SK...Honda motor's great, but can't come down on just the right prop...best performance came from a 17p x 15 1/4"dia Mercury Mirage: 1000rpm/5mph(GPS), 2000/8.1, 3000/12.3, 4000/25.4, 5000/33.7, topped out at 5800/38.1mph...problem is that prop caused clutch-dog rattle at idle-speed and sloppy gear engagement...currently runnin' a Honda prop: 1000/4.9, 2000/7.9, 3000/12.0, 4000/22.0, 5000/33.0, tops out at 6000/40.0...go figure...less in mid-range, but a little more top end...since I don't cruise at WOT, I'm still lookin'...Honda Tech is workin' w/me on this(he's been ridin' w/me once and is bringin more props to try...the 150 being a newbie this year, he's lookin' to get some numbers down...what I'm holdin' out for is the Mirage performance w/out the rattle/slop...once we wade thru proppin' this pup, I anticipate pure pleasure 8)...all outboards should run this SWEET ;D...
