Why are you going with a 148mm? The stock pump properly set up is sufficient for that motor...
Freestyle What prop to spin in a 148MM set-back pump? 701 B-Pipe and 35cc ADA head.

I'm beginning to wonder that myself. I was thinking because of some,of,the good deals floating around right now on the bigger pumps that if I could turn them with my motor it wouldn't be a big setback.
But I'm starting to think I should wait until I've got a bigger driveline to get a bigger pump.

if its a great deal and you will be using it later on, buy it and throw it on the shelf till that day comes. the great deal probably wont be so great if your chasing props around

I ride all surf with a similar motor (61x single carb motor,b-pipe, 35cc domes in ada, msd). My pump is stock with a skat 12/17 small hub prop and with tbm pump cone and i rarely have an issue or feel like I need more out of the pump, granted it is in a Rickter FS-2 with a bigger pump cavity. Although I did have the same setup in my superjet and it wasn't much difference performance wise. I feel like a big pump or a mag pump would put to much load on the small motor, and that there isn't enough motor to tap into all that pump can do. Just my theory I don't have anything to back that up.

That's why I was trying to get you to raise the compression atleast (although just that isn't enough to spin a 148 correctly)

I think it all depends on your upgrade timeline. Will you upgrade motor fairly soon?
If you have a lightweight a/m hull, then it will be easier to turn the 148 prop off the bottom. You need a 6 or 7 on the bottom and a relatively short top pitch as well. You can also space the prop forward to increase slip and let it spool up easier.

Upgrade is not as soon as I would like it to be. Probably somewhere in the scope of 1-2 years for the motor.
