1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

Correct Propeller for my 1991 Outrage 19'

Currently the boat has an Apollo 14-1/8 X 20 four blade stainless steel prop. At 5000' altitude at full throttle the 150 Mercury BlackMax engine is turning 5500+ RPM and 42.7 MPH by the GPS. Anyone out there have any suggestions for me? We are planning on taking the boat out to the Channel Islands (Pacific Ocean) in the near future. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick in Carson City, Nevada. (moderator note: changed the abbreviated year to the full 4 digit year) Edited by Tom W Clark on 03/09/14 - 12:43 PM

That boat should do 48-48 MPH at sea level and I would expect it to do 44-45 at 5000 ft. I recommend you try a 14-1/4" x 19" Stiletto Advantage or a 13-3/4" x 20" Mercury Enertia
