Not sure how to find out the gear ratio on my out drive. How do I find it?

It is on the sticker on the side of the drive toward the top cap.

Help me out and tell me if this is the right prop for my boat or what would be the best option to go with.

Some what did you decide to go with?? I need to figure out what prop I need to run also. Our boats are very similar, i have a 2008 28ft Lightning Custom Cat with a 496HO, right now I have a stock Mercury 4 blade 24 on my boat and at about 5100 I'm running about 72 on GPS. I want to get a labbed prop, but the shop I go to told me to install my new headers first and then figure out what prop will work. I have been told probably a 4 blade 26 labbed.
