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.
