i have a cleaver style looking prop. maybe i should try my buddies 21 mirage? See what happens i guess. I was thinking maybe it got switched out for a 1.50 gear alpha but wouldn't my rpms be higher?
Is there a way to tell which gears i have? i have read the 223's will get about 60, that's what i am working towards. Also would like to upgrade heads and cam over the winter. If my motor is tired then i would need to re fresh. If not i can get away cheaper. Dont plan on keeping the boat to to much longer.

ok. i was just wondering if it had something to do with the style of the prop. It does not look like any of my friends props.19 pitch props between models and manufactures do not change anything? Also no way to tell the gears in the outdrive?

i cant find picture of my prop or read anywhere on it anything other then 19p.
It is very sharp and flat back on all the fins. And the fins come to a point. not rounded liek most i see. Looks just like a cleaver type prop. except with splines. Idk. Maybe its an out board prop or something?

I would honestly see if you can borrow or buy cheaply a 17 pitch mirage plus, that would be a good prop for speed, and the pluses act like a pitch or 2 up, so it would feel more like an 18 or 19.
