Default what prop should I use ?

I want to try new set of props for my boat. 1995 32' Fountain Fever w/ 502 Mag EFI and Bravo 1 Drives. What do you guys think would give me the best top end speed and slow speed handling.

For top end the Quad IV would be best and for mid range/ minimum planning speed the Bravo 1 would be best. Unfortunatley what works best on the top end usually doesn't work best at low to mid range speeds.

I've got a buddy with a 1996 single step and 502's. He runs 26" Bravo 1 and sees 75 mph top end. Overall good performance. As Matt stated you have to give in one area to get something in another. There is no prop yet that will do everything perfect. Just like life, it is all a compromise !!!
