    Anyone running a spitfire on a 115

    I am intrigued about these new spitfire props. I run a ss three blade but was looking for a 4 blade as my backup for my merc 115 4 stroke, and to use for watersports with bigger skiers. They say lose no top end and gain all the best things about a 4 blade, I doubt the claim about the top speed...

    Hi guys I just put a post about a 16p Vengeance I put on my merc 115 4s. It performed well, better than my black max. The one question I have is that when I give it full throttle out of the hole the motor goes all the way up to around 5900 and then settles a little once I am up on plane. It...
