Revitup! Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I have a 2017 18 hpx-v with a standard F115 . The boat came from the dealer with a 23p powertech. With no trolling motor and 1 person this was obviously was still to much prop. Borrowed a Merc. Laser 21p but still not the right setup. 45 max at 5900rpms and crazy slip in turns. After reading suggestions on this forum I purchased a x7-21p and I now finally love my boat. 51mph at 5900 rpm, with me a live well full of shrimp and trolling mo setup!. The prop holds in turns and took away the sensitivity to trim and I now have great hole shot! This prop absolutely woke my boat up! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there is a significant difference in top end RPM between the SpitFire X7 17, 19 & 21, I wish Mercury would make a 18 pitch and 20 pitch Spitfire X7 as well. The 18 pitch would be the Goldilocks prop for my RF 16 with the VF115. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
