Curent set up iz 2275 RCW with a 2011 150 Merc Optimax Pro XS (about 165 hp). Motor is in the top hole (all the way down). Tubes are 32" elips, w lifting strakes and underwater shield. Max speed is 44mph with very light load spinning a 15x15 Enetia prop at about 5600 rpm. Once I get 4 adults or pull at tube, max speed drops to 5200rpm at about 35 to 36 mph.

I just odered a Merc Mirage Plus in a 16 x 13 pitch. I hear the Pro XS's like to run in the upper of the 5250 to 5750 rpm range

I'll keep u posted on the results.

Todd,

Very impressive speed with that Merc Optimax Pro XS 150. Look forward to your post after installing the new prop.
 
Thanks. Didn't get to boat this weekend but next weekend for sure. Hope to get some more rpm when under load. These XS really pump out low end torque and high end hp. Wanna be close to the 5600 to 5700 when loaded.
