Hi All,

I’m currently running a stainless Mirage 17P prop on my Honda 150, and turn 6000 RPMs for 39-41 mph on my center console. It seems ideal, but many of my runs are increasing in length and I prefer to have a higher cruising speed (and higher top end if possible). I cruise at 3800 RPMs/25 mph. Am I already in the sweet spot? Everything I look online points to tuning Yamaha and Mercury props/engines—appreciate any feedback!
 
Find a reasonably priced 19 pitch in similar wheel diameter to what you have now and see if you actually gain any speed while reducing RPMS. I recupped and added 1"pitch to a revolution 4 prop 17pitch on 275 verado and gained holeshot and 4knots top end without loosing much if any WOT rpm. Had General Propeller do the tuning. but running honda 150 at 6000 rpm? I had my solas props on world cat twin honda 150s pitched to get 5500.
