I just purchased 94 481vs Ranger (19'6 / 92 ) with 94 150 merc efi, whole rig has about 50hrs on it (cherry). The guy I bought it from said it came from the dealer with this high five (five bladed) prop. Boat runs 60mph @5400. A stranger at the ramp the other day wanted me to price it to him. What's it worth, would it be worth risk of going to cheaper prop. I'm pretty happy with performance right now. Do my current #'s sound right for this rig. My first boat, I'm pretty green to this stuff, but learning alot from you guys. Thanks for any info.

Re: 150 MERC PROP

Hi,<br />The only thing I may do is to get a Merc 4 blade prop that is 1 inch lower in pitch than your High-5. I would get enough money out of the H-5 to pay for the 4 blade. Otherwise keep it and enjoy

Max RPM for your motor is 5600 RPMs, so you are in the ballpark.<br /><br />...have fun...corm
