I have a 150 HP 4 stroke Verado and at WOT I turn 6800 which is over the max RPMs for my engine. I would look at a 17 or 19 pitch three blade. What is your engines max RPM?

I am considering a 4 blade 18 pitch as a spare.

I am going to give a 21 pitch Laser II a try tonight. I am hoping for around 6100 rpms.

I took the boat to the lake Thursday night. I got 6000 rpms and around 54 mph on the liarometer. I am guessing around 50 is probably accurate. I also picked up a 19p Mercury Vengence 3 blade tonight on e-Bay. I believe the 19 is gonna be a better choice for the primary prop. I may sell the Laser II at a later date. I will then buy a 18p Mercury Alpha 4 as a spare most likely.​

The 19 is the correct prop to be used with 150 hp. I have a 21P Laser II for sale.
