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

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.
