| Rj, you are exactly right. I have a 19 pitch prop on my 150. The 175 comes with a 21. If you run the 19 on the 175 it overrevs. My dealer tested side by side same boat, one with 150 and the other 175 with the props I mentioned. The 150 got the holeshot every time but the 175 had mire tip end to the tune of 1 or 2 mph on gps. I cared more about getting on plane. Granted I could've gotten the 175, put the 19 pitch prop on it and just watched the tach, but if properly setup you hammer it down and never reach max rpm which is what I have now.
I would say the 175 does perform better since there is higher top speed but the trade off is slightly poorer holeshot and then higher trolling speeds which were important to me. | |
