14 1/2 x 32 4 bld merc props work well, but they are hard to plane and dont have much of a cruise.
the 5 bld merc 14 1/2 x 30 with a lab finishing planes really well and has about a 10 mph increase in cruise over the 4 bld merc lab prop
the hydromotive p5 has better time to plane than the 4 bld, not as good as the 5 bld max, but is faster than the max top end and as fast or in some instances faster than the 4 bld merc.
variables are drive heght, shorties 1" or 2", etc,,,,

your boat should be in the early 90's, spining a 30 over 5000.

anything else to the boat as far as drives.

PM stands for private message and "Throttle Up" and "BBlades" are custom prop shops that specialize in high performance. You can find them in the prop section and if you click on their avitar you can send them a message and they will get back to you real quick. Both of them know their stuff and will be happy to answer your questions.
