1993 OUTRAGE 17 Low-profile, SUZUKI DF175: Propeller
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2025 11:26 am
Q1: what is a good choice for a propeller on a SUZUKI DF175 for powering a 1973 OUTRAGE 19 [that has been modified by removing the upper cap to create a "low-profile" boat of reduced weight]?

BACKSTORY
The 1973 OUTRAGE 17 was previously powered by a Yamaha 150-HP engine using two-stroke-power-cycle design.
My performance preference is to have [better acceleration at full throttle from a standing stop] instead of aiming for maximum full-throttle boat speed.
