Re: I have a lethargic Johnson 150
I'm not sure what the proper engine mounting height on your boat should be. My Ranger375v w/gt150 likes c/l of gearcase 3-1/2" below the pad. All boats seem to be different. I also have a 24 raker. It's a good prop in a straight line flying down the river, but it likes to blow out on the turns even trimed down good. When you get it running the way it should, you should be able to spin that 24" raker to 5300-5500 rpm fully trimed up. That should put you in the 60 mph range. Any more than that is called a bigger motor. That's about all I know about it.<br /><br />Be safe up there in KY. I used to live in Bowling Green. Nice place KY.<br /><br />Duck out.
