    Mercury 150 Black max steering saga continues....

    I have a 1983 Procraft 1650v fish and ski. 16.5'. It has a Mercury 150 black max on it. I think it has too big of a prop. When I hit the throttle, it kind of bogs down. Is this due to the prop? Does anyone know what size prop it needs on it? Im not sure what is on it now I cant seem to see...
