any way thanks for all the advise

I had a 15.5 x 17 on my Honda 150...PERFECT...got all the RPMs (6,000) and all...had to drop back to 15.25 dia. to get a rattle out of the lower unit at idle though, but I've been a believer in big diameter props for these deep Vs ever since..the deeper the V, the more resistance through the water...the bigger dia provides more thrust to overcome that resistance...but that's just me...
