had one of those on a Checkmate 21' speedboat.With the jack plate down,WOT, trimmed out the boat only did about 50 MPH......w/ jack plate trimmed way up and motor trimmed way out it ran right around 70MPM.

Thanks guys. I picked up the motor yesterday. Next question, the motor came of a 19 foot Boston Whaler CC I was given 2 props with it, 17 pitch alunimium and a 19 pitch stainless steel prop, I have a feeling it's too much pitch for the boat , what are the 150 guys running. I took a few pictures of the motor before I took it from the other boat, I'll post a few tommorrow night. I guy I got it from bought a large 4 stroke Yammy I have close to 2500. in reciepts for work and parts on the Merc, it's clean......

most guys w/ a 150 [myself included] run a 17" pitch.See what you tach out at, mercs run a little higher RPMs than average,I think you should be about 5800 WOT

My Merc 150 twists a 17p SS Vengence to 5550.
