Ok so everyone here has been very helpful so ive got another thing to ask. I have a 1978 sea star made by glasstek with a 150hp mercury v1500 black max motor. Im havin prop trouble the 24 pitch im running puts to much drag on the motor and only lets it get to 4000 rpm at WOT in the water. I have a smaller prop that the guy i bought it from said is for skiing but it doesnt have the pitch stamped on it. The small prop is to small i get better acceleration but lose about 7 mph and i cant run WOT or it will over rev. I cant find any info on this boat so how can i find the proper pitch prop? I have a service manual for the motor on the way, will it say in that? Ecpensive as they are id really hate to just buy props until one is right. Thanks in advance.
