Let Darin do the props, he did mine and I am very happy with the work.
No fuel, no gear down river with a tail wind 69.3 @ 4800, small amount of prop work by cheap local shop.
No fuel, no gear down river with a tail wind 71.3 @ 5000, after Darin worked on them. T would not hold it there but that was the fastest I could get 71.0 and hold it there, I had to trim a little more with no tab and would pickup a little more and then porpoise some.
The best things is that at 3200 rpm I picked up 3 mph.

Re: Correct prop ?
Darin did the prop on my 28 stryker. If midrange is what you want he can get it to you. I had a 23p Mirage and he did his magic to it. My cruise speeds are up 2-3 mph and the acceleration is awesome. I didn't gain top end but I'm not really worried about that as much. the boat planes easier and is much better when it gets rough now. Its worth it...
