Margay with 115 pro xs

I had to change the prop out from a Mercury Laser II 22p3-blade to a Laser II 19p 3-blade. I was not aable to get any hole shot with the 22p and now with both myself at 325lbs and my backseater at 300lbs and the boat fully loaded it jumps out of the water and is on plane in under 3 seconds. the 115 proxs is underpowered with the 22p prop. I really appreciate the folks at Performance Outboard and the BassCat store at Sunset Marina for all their help.What kind of top end speed are you seeing with that setup?Cheers,Scott

Suzukis coming out with a 115 SS model soon, and I hope they do some testing on the Margay. Seems like it would be an ideal motor for a basic Margay package. If theyve done what they did with the 250 SS then it should mean a bigger block with more torque. The 250 SS is an electronically stepped down 300. Suzukis 140 is already the same block as the 115, so maybe itll be a stepped down version of their 150 (which would be awesome), or perhaps theyre going to use a new block size or (less awesome) just a different lower unit. So far they havent released any details– just a picture.

The factory is suggesting a high five propeller now on this application. It does great from what we have seen so far. Sacrifices some top end to get great lower end performances.
