Picked up boat with new 60 etec on it Friday. Engine runs great and pushes the boat at approx. 34 mph. I will have gps hooked up this weekend and advise real speed. Running a 17p prop and 5500 rpm. Boat is a little slow to plane with 4 people in boat. Approx. weight 450 lbs (2 adults and 2 teenagers). Should i go to a smaller prop?

Imagemix,
You have a 150 Super Sport and not a 15' Super Sport.
Here are the 1984 to 1993 Super Sport 15' models.

And here is the boat you just purchased.
Super Sport 150 model which is 2009 to present day.

2 completely different boats and hulls with 2 completely different names for a reason.
Glad you finally purchased the boat.
Enjoy.
