I'm still testing a new prop I purchaced for my 18. It's a Stiletto Bay Pro 3, 4 blade 14 1/4 x 15. I raised the motor all the way up (2" or so above the keel) but need to lower it a bit due to over heating at full throttle full trim. I hit 44 @ about 5500 rpm briefly before i had to back down on the throttle. Cruise was 32 @ 4000 rpm. The old Johnson 150 loves 4000 rpm. The boat was fully loaded. More testing this weekend.
