The 150 Etec on my 1983 Outrage 18 is mounted all the way up, which is the best position in my opinion. I am also running a viper 14.75x17 prop and top out around 5600 trimmed up and around 48-49 mph.
No porpoising at all with this set up either
This is a really interesting comparison. So running a Rebel TBX 15.25x19 prop yields approximately the same top end speed. We'll have to compare fuel consumption and lower speed RPM.
I should clarify my porpoising comment. That was with the trim at the absolute max of the operational trim. I was sea trialing so I wanted to test how the boat responded to extremes.
Will be in salt water over the holiday weekend and will have follow up.
