Default Re: Merc Opti Performance Report - 20 Master Angle

I looked at a '01 SeaCraft 20' yesterday with an '02 Optimax 150 with a nosecone and low-water pickup, but no bracket. He has bottom paint, and claims a top speed of 46 mph on GPS at 5300 rpms, turning a 21" Mirage Plus, and 4.9 mpg at 27-28 mph according to his Smartcraft system.

I told him he needed an 18" or 19" pitch prop.
