Your best bet is probably a Trophy 14 X 24 or 14 X 25 stainless. Best all around prop for your application with the large gearcase. If you have the small gearcase XR or Magnum engines the 13 3/4 would be correct.
Thanks,
Jeff

how do i tell what gearcase i have?

Expert:  JeffG replied 1077 days and 22 hours ago.

The 150 XR models used a 4 1/4" diameter gearcase. Yours should be a 4 3/4" diameter. I put the small gearcase in because some guys ran the smaller gearcase even on the larger HP boats.

The diameter is where the prop meets the lower unit?

The back of the bullet, where the propshaft is, measure side to side.

Customer replied 1077 days and 20 hours ago.

Do I measure to the inside of the gear case or outside?Mine is 4 1/4 inside.

Outside diameter. so you want the 14 X 24 or 25 prop.
