Yea that 175 is a smaller block than 200 so it would be tough for you to turn a 22p. I would try a tempest plus if your not happy with your current prop. I would think you could get closer to 55mph and still have good holeshot with that engine set up right.

I agree. I tried a 21p tempest. Ran 53-54 mph, but only turned up about 5400-5500 rpm. I'm currently running a Solas HR Titan 19p. Running 52-53 mph and 5700 rpm. I think I can stand to raise my motor on the transom. In my opinion, the cavitation plate is getting a little too wet. That's gonna be my next experiment. Honestly though, it's running pretty good as is. I would just like to see if it's got anymore in it. Wish Merc mounting holes were like Yamaha's. Would make it a lot easier to change motor height.
