Anyone have any thoughts on these new, Hi-Po four stroke racing engines from Mercury? Is there a known line that is too heavy for these 21' weapons? I like my 2.5 but at some point it is going to need to be replaced...

Not to change the subject here, but I am trying to figure out something that'll help the old windshield on my shadow look better. It's the lexan/ plastic wrap-around style that is quite faded and cracked at this point. I am thinking about painting it since it looks like a bear to remove & replace, just wondering if anyone else has tried anything that works well.
As always, thanks guys.

Removing it is easy, but getting a new one made can be tough. I had a new reproduction made for my Challenger by a plastic machining place in NJ. Not sure if any forum vendors offer that service. PM if you need more info. I had mine made from clear scratch resistant coated Lexan, but it cost around $600 :-(
I removed the old windshield easily and they used it as a template for the new one.

Thanks tripower, I may send you a PM a little closer to winter. The windshield doesn't bother me too much, and I may just tint it very dark to hide some of the haze.
Another question for you guys (I know, I'm annoying ) I am thinking of adding a faster prop to my quiver now that the guys at Fuller's have this old 2.5 running great. I have a 23 pitch high-five that I use for cruising around with the family, and that is currently on the boat, and I'm thinking of adding something for those weekends where I want to run faster, maybe up at Lake George or just here when the ladies are out of town. The high-five isn't slow, but I was wondering what other options might be good.
This is a Shadow originally built for an inboard, and I've been told that it is somewhat heavier than an outboard hull due to that. Here is a picture of the set-back if that is something that helps. I know it is not going to be possible to pick a prop out of a hat and get it perfect, but I'm far away from anything performance boating related out here on the river, and my options for testing props are extremely limited. So I guys my goal is to find the ballpark, and if I have to buy a couple and resell them to find the right one that's ok, I'm just looking for a good place to start.
Boat has a 2.5 260, and to make this more difficult my speedo doesn't work, I don't have a GPS (yet) and the engine runs past the maximum 7,000 rpm on the tach haha. The hull is notched, which I think is common for Shadows. I appreciate the input guys, if any of you are ever near Pittsburgh let me know, I'll buy ya a beer.

Hey Nick you might want to try a 25 Trophy plus it works well on my boat and we have the same hull.
