I had a very similar setup to yours. No trolling motor on the bow but 83 ski boat. XR6 150 on a 15" mid.
Best prop was a 28 Signature 4blade cleaver like you're running. 89mph at 6700-6800.
Merc promax is also a great performer on this hull try a 27-28p.
Current setup is a steel bore laser 260, 32 promax 104mph at 6700. I think there's more left if I mess with the tune and true up the bottom.
Engine height is unsure bc im running a hydraulic jack 6" set back
My favorite hull this size.
Good luck with your setup. Looks like an awesome boat

Nice. I dig the home made shifter.. I think your doing pretty damn good for having a 150 and a trolling motor. Not bad at all.
Can you just hold the wheel straight at speed or do you have to drive it? Never been in a laser, not sure if its a pad V or a tunnel boat. I know they made them both ways.

I had a stock 150 ficht with LWP and hydraulic Jack plate that I would go up until water pressure dropped then bumped down a touch I could get 87gps then a 140 looper tight heads and my 1:86 gear case with LWP that I was able to break 85gps with, I loved that boat except for in chop. Ran best flat.

Cool rig. Don't think I've ever seen one set up as a fishing boat. Send that prop to a good shop.

Nice ride!
A little jealous.
Tune up the prop, straighten out the skeg. Should rip!
I don't know how many ltv bass boats were made, still a few left. One in the classifieds section right now.
Laser also made a v hull bass boat.

I too had a Kevlar STV. Had a 2.4 EFI . Went 90 out of the box. Never searched for more. Had the seats stacked down the center. Had a blast with some one in the back seat. Could play around, carry the bow high, and race everyone on a sloppy weekend chop.
One the the funnest boats I have ever run.Jim
