Author	Topic:   Prop change 05 190 Nantucket
alb1661	posted 04-10-2006 08:24 PM ET (US)         I have a 05 190 Nantucket with a 115 4S Mercury SS Vengeance 14" pitch Prop. I "single hand" fish most of the time. Sometimes my wife or son comes with me.I noticed last year my rpm's would go to (cutoff) 6200 rpm WOT @ 37.5 mph on my GPS.(4700 rpm @27 mph)(5100 rpm @ 30 mph). This year I put on a 16" SS Vengeance and now (4700rpm @30 mph)and WOT is 5900 rpm @39.2mph. I have a flo-can on the boat, it reads 5.4 gph @ 30 mph. Time to plane is about 4 sec's. Just passing this information on to the group. It's a great boat. Steve
