Hydromotive 24P quad IV may be a good prop.

Hydramotive 24/25 4 blades may not be the best on top but you will get good cruise. espically after fuel, coolers, and people.

Running the numbers using a total weight of 9400 lbs. suggests the 28 Lab B1's that Gary has will put you at 83 mph @ 5400 rpm. That's with a 1.5:1 gear ratio.
