Hey 85v. I agree, testing props can get expensive. Your setup sounds very good, and you have a lot more potential. My water pressure stays around 10 to 15 psi unless I floor it and then it goes up much higher. I will have to modify the lower someday, so I am almost tempted to look around for a replacement lower unit. If I go that route, I will be able to use all three props, so I will keep you informed.
Stay dry!

Because my new prop is delayed, Ken at Pro-Outboard lent me a 25" fury. Today I raised the motor another inch, and met a cool dude on the lake, and he was riding a v-king. His had a 200 and he ran a 34" hoss. We had a good time riding down the channel just before sunset. I know I should have taken some pictures! Next time...
Since I raised the motor, the boat behaved a bit differently, and was more of a handful than normal. But this time I stepped on the hotfoot hard and got it up to 82 on the GPS at 6,600 rpm.
Bummer that the windshield cracked when I crossed a wake on my way back today. I hope my new prop doesn't take forever to get here.
Hey take a look at what the dudes at Murphy's did to my 28" small ear!
That prop was very fast and hit 70 with the old 150 at 5,500 rpm. I have no idea how it runs after the work, and unless I can figure out how to get it to fit the fat shaft, it will be the most expensive artifact in my garage.
Have a good one!

quick update. The new prop is awesome. 28" ET. A bit slippery, but it jammed up to 87 on the gps. It also spun over 6,600 rmp. I had to raise it another inch, and unless I raise the motor on the jackplate, it won't go any higher. I am real happy for this season. THanks to everyone who helped with suggestions.
Finally about the three small shaft props in my garage, I will post them on the sell forum eventually.

Hello Fellow Scream and Fly community. I have owned my stream for just about a year now and realize that I took it out very seldom since the rebuild! So, I will be looking for a buyer, and will offer it in the proper forum location for selling.
Thanks to everyone who inspired me on this board.
Best Wishes!
