what sizes would you try
#6
I have calculated your slip at 17-22% dependant upon the actual pitch of your 34P Bravo props (theyare anywhere from 32-33.5). So that being said 5B props will most likely net better performance for you and get your slip numbers under control. At the high end of the range I have calculated you may even want to consider 6B props or spacers, dependant upon the measurements.

I agree you have some slip issues.
I'm not real keen on the 6 blade idea and the 5 blade is a maybe. You will need to get the diam. right on the multi blade props.
If your 34 is a standard Lab Bravo1 from Mercury, it can be enhanced to run better.
The 34 Bravo 1 propeller is different than the rest of the Bravo 1 family. It can have a higher slip ratio.
I think testing a spacer may be the ticket. Does the boat react to trim well?
