Just bought a 2001 Donzi 23 sport... 5.7 mag mpi. What is the best prop?
Hello guys... just bought the boat and had it out once. I believe it has a three blade 18 pitch on it right now. Seeing 30 to 35mph at around 4,000rpm. Does anyone have any recommendations on best all around prop to use? I will be pulling a tube occasionally but mainly using it to island hop. Thanks in advance and let me know what you think!

my 2001 MPI runs 53ish with a 21 Mirage+... with a 4 blade 17 it runs about 51-52... the 4 blade is great cruise and handling though.... 3500-3600 rpm is 38-39 mph

Bought a Quicksilver Typhoon 19p 4 blade over the weekend and what a difference!! Gets up on plane immediately and hooks tight while turning. I took it easy the entire day at about 30-33 3,000rpm until a storm came in and I had to rush back. I hit right at 50mph 4,600 on gps before running out of room. No doubt it would hit the 50+ mark especially if I had some time to dial it in. Thanks again for the help!!
