Hey All,I was hoping to find some other people with Aluminum Deep Vee Boat's that have the Mercury 115HP EFI 4-stroke, and find out what prop they have (Brand, Size, Material, etc), and what Results they get (Speed, Holeshot, RPM, etc).Currently I have a 2006 Lowe Fish & Ski 17' with a 2006 Mercury 115HP EFI 4-stroke.It came with a 19 Pitch Aluminum Prop. Which on a fully loaded boat (4-people & fishing gear) would run 40 MPH @ 5200 RPM.I Tried a Mercury Vengeance 18 Pitch Stainless Steel Prop. Which on a fully loaded boat (4-people & Fishing gear) would run 38-40 MPH @ 5400 RPMI then Tried a 17 Pitch Aluminum Prop. Which on a fully loaded boat (4-people & Fishing Gear) runs 42MPH & 5500 RPM.The 17P Prop was the only prop that will plane with 4-people behind the windshield.I also had the engine raised up 1 hole on the transom, which gave me a little better holeshot, and about 50RPM more.The Redline is 6000RPM, but it doesn't seam like I can get the engine to tach out to 6000RPM, and I am thinking if I go any lower in pitch I am going to start loosing Top end.The 18p Prop was the fastest when runing light (2-people light gear), which was 48MPH @ 5500RPMThanks,-TheChad
