Propping an X-190 for Mid 50s with the Merc 4-stroke would likely leave you with a poor holeshot under a heavy load. You need a 21" prop to get to 56 MPH at 5800 RPM and a very generous 7% slip. That's using the merc calculator and the 1.92 gear ratio for the 150 Merc. That's a pretty big wheel on a heavily loaded DeepV with a 150.

I wouldn't ignore Brad's comments as I am quite sure he runs a glass DeepV with the power being discussed.

If Mid 40s are acceptable you could run a 17 and get out of the hole with any load I bet.
