So, with no other changes, the motor with a new lower unit went from not being able to turn a 19, to now being able to turn if just fine? Or was the old lower unit not able to turn the 19, and the new one does it just fine?

The 19 seemed like too much prop with the old unit. The new unit turns it alright. 3-4 seconds to plane(15 to 18mph), probably 8-10 seconds to full speed (42mph @5500)

You've probably gotten a different gear ratio, all else being the same. The 99 Evinrude V6 Ficht and eTec motors were available with 1.85:1, 1.86:1, and 2.0:1 gear ratios. Most got the 1.85:1 ratio. A very few got the 2.0:1, and the 1.86:1 ratio were all foreign distribution.
A note of warning. The 1993 through 2002 oem gears for Evinrude and Johnson were very poor quality, and their single biggest issues were pinion gear failures. BRP fixed the problem, so if the gears are new, you're okay.

Thanks for the info & the warning. Probably got a lower gear, which is alright because the 19 Michigan Apollo deosn't lift the bow like the 17 Viper did
