I heard that too, and from what I've seen they are. Switched up to a 14" x 17P prop and gained about 3 MPH but lost 500 RPM. Went back to the 13.5 x 17 I like to keep my RPM's up.

I bet a 14 x 15p prop would get you a little more speed and rpm. But the question is moot if you get a "Fast Strike".

Personally I don't think you will like the Johnson as well as that sweet ole Merc, from a "running" point of view. They are just not as "refined". But you will like the Johnson from the "seat of pants" point of view plenty.
