			I'm with Big Joe, 1980 175 Evinrude and I run a 15 X 17, I do mostly off shore fishing and have never really been that concerned with top end. What I like about the 15 X 17 is that it is more of a power prop, I can set the throttle and the trim and push my way solidly through a 3 foot sea without any slippage and a fairly smooth ride.

			'73 Center Console Original motor Evinrude '75 135hp max speeds 4900 RPM @ 35 MPH 13x19 SS (old beat up prop) 4600 RPM @ 31 MPH 13.25x17 Alu (new $130 Mich Wheel) Upgraded motor to: Evinrude '83 175hp original old prop SST 14-1/4x21 4500rpm @ 43MPH (max) replaced with $50 ebay prop, 15x17 SST II tops out fully loaded at 43mph (GPS) @ 5400rpm normal cruising speed of 30mph @ 3800rpm Keep in mind when comparing numbers, the hp rating change in '84/'85 means this 175hp would be about the same as an '85 and newer 150hp.

			Those results are an educated guess. I don't have a gps and you can't trust a boat speedometer. I've owned and been on several boats and it does seem to haul a$$ for as heavy as she is. I try to lighten the load as much as possible only carrying necessary gear, but I always have a full fuel tank.
