Kyle has a 1850 crest liner with a 150 4 stroke. Brand new. I believe it tops out about 47 mph with the stock alum.

Hiya!!

If you can supply a few numbers I'll be glad to give it a go.. Max rpm, top speed and the load you have in the boat. And, If you can supply your prop size both pitch and diameter would be helpful as well.

That boat should get close to 50 if not hit it...

Biggest thing is what do you want the boat to do... Speed, pulling tubes, handling.., all play a role in what prop or props will be best for your situation.

Biggest thing to keep in mind is that your prop of choice will be a compromise of some sort in one area or another. But.., when you find the right prop for your rig, it'll just float along nicely in an easy cruise... It'll handle and respond well in all types of conditions..
