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.


Thanks for the explanation.
