I have tried the viper 17p and she barely gets to 5300 rpm with the engine all the way up on the mounting bolts and trimmed out. I would like to get the engine to 5600 rpm or as close to it as possible, in the optimal range. Thanks for your input in advance. THOM : 1999 Outrage 18, 2012 E-TEC 150, 2012 EZ Loader trailer

Remember this? http://www.whalercentral.com/forum/vi...d_id=13589 Tom's second recommendation: An even better prop would be the 14-1/4" x 17" Stiletto Advantage 4.75 (or its Turbo 1 sibling), which would also cost less too.

As it turns out, there is no such thing as a 15" Viper but there is a 14-3/4” x 16" Viper, part #763912 which would gain you 150-200 RPM which would put you at 5450-5500 RPM. To drop to a 15" BRP prop you would need to go to the 15" x 15" SSP. This is the old SST design and I do not like for this boat/motor combination. You could also try a 14-1/4" x 13" Stiletto Advantage 4.75 which I think would put you at 5700 RPM. Maybe too high. I am actually surprised the 17" Viper is not allowing more RPM.
