Default top gun prop size please help!!

Ok, 90 top gun. 23 mirage plus, it planes very nicely at 3000-3200 rpm, it cruises @ 45 mph @ 3700-3800 rpm and 64-67 wot 5300-5350 rpm

Bam is talkin me into a set of 23 revolution 4 blades.
What do you cug guys think? I do have 550hp modified engines so the 5300-5350 rpm I am crankin now is ok by the engine builder!

On my 90 cafe I run 26 4 blade Bravos and estimate I put out a little under 600 hp, and turn them to 5100 or so..... Low to mid 70's in chop.... Mine is not a notched transom.

What drives??

The Four Blades will be far superior to the props you have.

I would go with a 22 pitch BRAVO 1 prop.

if u add a blade u want to drop in pitch or u gonna loose to much RPM !!!!
A 22 bravo 1 should still give u ~ 5200+ !!!!
