Hey everyone! First post here and I'm a new boater/fisherman and this stuff is addicting! I just bought a 99 NX 882 from my neighbor last week. It's been babied to death and I love this boat. It has the matching 150 Merc on it. He put a 3 blade 19 pitch prop on it because I think he was scared of the speed. Obviously this thing will get out of the hole like a champ which is cool. I like to cruise on the lake around 4000-4500 RPM's but it will only get about 40 MPH with that prop. Top speed seems like it might get to 50 but I haven't even pushed it that hard. Everyone on here says it should run around 60-62 with this setup. If I were going to change props to get some more speed out of it what should I get? I started fishing some tourney's and I'd like to be able to hit all those good spots if you know what I mean instead of it taking forever to get there. Thank you for all your help in advance! Nitro is the way to go!
