1999 Adventure 208 - New Yamaha F150 -which prop?

[Sdfish]

Hi guys, I'm in process of re powering my Adventure 208 with a Yamaha F150.
Anybody currently running this set up, what prop are you using?
What kind of performance are you experiencing?

Thanks in advance!

Sold my F150 on my 208 and replaced with a F200 i4 Ran a Reliance 17p on my F150 then went to a Reliance 15p on the F200. Should have gone with the 15p on the F150 to get the WOT closer to the 6000 rpm mark. Depending on the boat load, I found the 15p to cover most of my prawning, fishing and cruising with an extra body or two to be the best. Good luck on a new F150, great motors! Cheers, Fret Knot

Yes, got a great deal on it with and extra 3 year warrantee. I have a 2 stroke Yamaha on it prior to repower.

i agree with trapper. i'd go with a 15p.

for my 190 with a 120hp a 17p works to 5500 rpm and makes the boat faster, but the 15p it came with gets me right to the max wot 6000 rpm and means the engine jumps on plane and is never straining regardless of load or conditions. the engine is 33 years old and still has strong consistent compression. i believe the prop is one reason for that.

Here's the report link from the Grady site:

Performance report with the F150 shows a 14 1/4 x 15 will give 40 mph light.
