Sold the 150 for 700 after I discovered that one of the cylinders had 0 psi of compression. Lesson learned: always do a compression check. Hopefully not too late since the 175 I just bought hasn't been tested. Fingers are crossed.
I picked up a 3 blade 14x19 Stilletto yesterday for 75 bucks off of Craigslist. I expect the boat will need a little bit more prop than that but figured it was a good start since I see a lot of people running them on here. Any thougts on a 175 with 19" of pitch?
I'm gonna order the Sea Star HK7400 hydraulic steering once I verify that them Opti has good compression.
