15 X 15 SS on my 175 pushes the boat (21 proline WA) at 40MPH at 5400 rpm.

I tried stepping up to a 15X17, but it did not keep the engine at the top of the torque curve and I got lower MPH and RPM.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vector I do agree mostly about the verado, IMO they are made for top end tourny guys who got more $$ than god. They want good fuel "mileage" like 4 strokes but the power of 2 strokes.

SO,,,, something has to be done to 4 strokes cause' they just dont have the power to weight ratio. So they supercharged it !!Hey if the SC goes, the sponsor can pay to fix it !!!!
