What prop on bass boat to start with?

[jdp8488]

I have a 1986 Stratos bass/flats boat, and I just got a Force 150 to put on it. It does not have a prop on it, and I do not know what to start out for all around performance. Its 17'6" long if that helps.. Its the Stratos 179v.

Does your boat look like this!

A 150 Force will have only about 125 actual HP! I think that I would shoot for about a 19P four blade!

Yeah, same boat. I heard the Forces were underpowered, but I didnt know by that much. Should of got a black max I guess. Well anyway. Ill try that out I guess. Thanks. -Justin
