Fletcher arrowsport 16 with 150 hp XR6
Recently finished my transom and mounted my new engine. The boat is a 16 ft Fletcher arrowsport and is originally rated for 90hp.
I installed a 6 inch hydraulic jackplate.
First run i reached 98kmu / 60mph
The propellor is used is a revolution4 23p. Huge prop compared to a Laser2. Very poor out of the hole and wont rev up (and get up on plane) with 3+ people, even with all PVS plugs removed. But once it runs, it runs nice.
As i said, 98kmu / 60mph @ 5800rpm
The boat becomes wobbly at those speeds and start chine walking, but i can correct it with steering.
And i can throw a rooster tail, which i think is cool. Any recommandations for props?

I always tell people to start with a used Trophy. 4 blades will help with the chinewalk. But maybe Trophies are not so available/cheap in your area.
You are at 11% slip if you have the standard size 1.87 ratio gearbox. Not bad.

I read online that the trophy 4 was comparable with the revolution 4. I will try to find a trophy4.
Chinawalk is not so bad at the moment.
Btw, update on speed: i reached 103kmh / 64mph with same prop and lots of positive trim

If you have the standard 4.75" gearcase and an even pitch Trophy, there will be a gap between the gearcase and the prop that will allow more gas over the prop. If you have the 4.25" gearcase you will have 1.78 gears and no gap - worse for holeshot
