    so this is now on my list to buy soon,plus i wanna get a stainless steel 3 blade prop as well from your recomendations!!
    solas props company seems like a good rep shop for props with good range of merchandise !!
    whats your thoughts please r.e engine jack plate ??
    i hope with there kit i wont have to re drill any more holes in my 15" transom ??
    i dont want to weaken it any m ore ,even though i have strenghten and braced up rerar transom very stiff and strong for the extra weight of larger engine and power out put as well!!
    so guys,which brand,model jack plate do i need to buy please ??

    You could build your own jackplate. http://www.dillon-racing.com/jackplate/index.htm

    You might consider using 3/8" aluminum for a motor more than about 130 lbs.
