MERCURY MIRAGE PLUS in a 15 pitch is what I would reccomend as the number 1 choice after we talked the other day. I've got a 14 1/4 X 15 STILLETTO that I carry for a spare, and I HATE IT! It's a horrible prop for bottom end and mid range cruising, trolled poorly, and was a real pain when backing down. I'm running the 17 pitch MICHIGAN WHEEL APOLLO large diamter which is a generic MIRAGE PLUS without the vent holes, and LOVE IT. Only problem is that they don't offer them in smaller than a 17 pitch. Also I believe it is the EVINRUDE RENEGADE is a good prop and available in a 15 pitch. I could ship you this STILLETTO to try out if you want and see if you like it. I just spent a little over $125 having it redone only to find I didn't like it. My second reccomendation would be the APOLLO 4 blade in a 16 pitch(993203). The STILLETTO is an OK prop if you're after speed and top end, but for mid range cruising and slow speed trolling with manuverability you want a 4 blade or a large diameter prop for extra surface area and bite. You sacrifice some top end with the increased blade area, but you make up for it on a boat that is used offshore with milage, handling, and prop bite.
