Default Re: performance of twin 150's on 23

I’ve got twin Black Max 200’s on the transom spinning 21” props and it struggles to plane on one if the water isn’t pretty flat. Full tabs and full tilt on the other engine really helps

My engines are a little long in the tooth and my props might be a little flat so with a pair of 200 Opti’s or EFI’s it would probably be a little easier. You better have a bracket with some flotation. My engines are pretty light, a little shy of 400#, and it’s too much weight.

Seems like someone would invent a spare prop that was ‘reversible’ so that it could be used on a std or turned around and put on a counter. A prop that didn’t have any skew, cup, or rake, and had a pitch steep enough to let you plane on either the std or the counter long enough to get you home.

The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low cost.
