It's identical to mine Chris, other than mine has a big silvery/black thingy on the back. Apparently you'll need one too Nuge, it makes them go a bit better. Oh, and don't forget the steering wheel. They help.

Yep, she's the 6.5. Mine's 2x jockey and a matching 2man flip-back bench which I like and I've got the wide race consol.She goes really well. You would need to run a 21"P prop with a 175. I'm running a 19" which gives me about 41knts @ 5300rpm. The pull-out is instant. I'm gonna get a 21" to use for cruising which should see her topping out around the 46/47knt mark. Cruising around 3800-4rpm she's doing 33knts approx. As for the hull, it tracks like an arrow and rides beautifully. The only slight criticisem would be that on hard turns at slowish speeds I do get quite a bit of cavitation, a bit of throttle tickling smooths it out.

Hi, I have a 5.75 Viper & a 150 Opti! Just about every one I spoke to reckoned on a 19" laser II, which seems to do the job well! I'm getting about 5500 rpm at 45 knots, I would have thought a 21" on a 6.5M would be a bit over propped!

Umm, not sure. I reckon that my Vipermax running a 19" is a bit under-propped. Horses for courses I suppose.

She's pulling about 5400 trimmed, which'll give 41knts . Pull out is instant.
