Finnegan in answer to your posting yes I'm aware the X7 would be better but also a lot more expensive, and yes I did see the videos on the Merc site, hence that is why I selected the inexpensive Spitfire aluminum.

If I win the lottery I would buy a bunch and try them all to determine the best prop for what I want to do, but if I win the lottery I wouldn't be using a Montauk 150.

Yes I do agree with Tim too but I have explained somewhere B-4 here in West Michigan they don't let you try props (I was able to return my first selection because "I didn't use it" and was told by somebody it wasn't the correct selection) You buy and if it doesn't work re-sell at a tremendous loss which can be very expensive if you want to try 3 or 4 props.

Also if buying from a dealer they want to sell only the prop brand like your OB.

Yes Phil I'm not at all looking for top speed 90% of the lakes we boat on are too small to run WOT for more than 3-5 minutes or too busy to do that.
Phil I was after quicker hole shot and yes I know a 2-stroke does that better but this aluminum inexpensive 4-bladed prop seems to do the trick for me.
I'm happy and when not having a full boat or doing any water sports I have a great SS prop on withing 5 minutes.
