prop time, 18 cc 150 johnson

[2182]

dropped her in the water last night for initial breakin period. ive always known about the term "holeshot", but having always run ancient motors never really known what it was. all i can say is im glad i had my back rest in the leaning post or my ass would have somersaulted backwards! like an idiot i forgot my gps but ill bring it out later this week one evening and get some #s up. prop adjustment will definitely be necessary. went out w/ a barebones load last night (1 person, no gear at all, 1/2 tank gas) and barely broke 5000 rpm, using every but of trim/trim tabs i could muster. even w/o gps speedo i can tell i wont see much dropoff in top end speed from the old merc to this motor. she was flying at 5000 rpm(mid 40s?).
