Hey guys I have a 99 stratos 273 vindicator 17'3 6" jack plate and a 3blade 24 raker prop johnson 150
I am trying to get some info on prop to pad height and what prop i should run. I think the prop is 4.5" from pad at the moment. I'm not concerned with holeshot performance i want as much top speed as possible. I have read these boats like to "walk" so any tips on how to avoid that. I have a hot foot and trim at the wheel. this is my first boat and ive read they can do close to 70 with the right set up i'm just wondering what that set up would be. thanks.
