Well, i can get a good deal on a 540lb fat sac, i would put it in the bow walk way. Would that be to much wieght? Would it hurt the boat any?
I already have a 220 in the ski locker..

Specs on boat....

2k6 Sea Ray Sport 175
3.0, 135hp Merc
18 foot

Thanks guys/gals.

you would be at its limit , with 4 people would need a 4 blade 15x16 prop to make it work well

Depends, how many people do you ride with?
I had a similar boat with the same motor, it helped when I went to a 4 blade lower pitch prop.

You should practice surface tricks
