Without knowing current speed. I would say 24p bravo one to start. What speed do you run now?

3 blade I run a 23p Mirage + and I just ran a 21p rev4 yesterday from Bblades that I decided to buy. Boat is a 25 OL with a 502 Mag mpi. With 3 people, half tank, gear I was able to hit 5100 rpm @ 64 MPH gps. Acceleration is awesome from 30-60 and it hops right on plane, also I didn't gain any speed at cruise. I still run about 40 mph @ 3500 rpm. The rev4 should be an awesome prop when the boat is loaded down.

What RPM are you running at to get that 53 mph?

If you don't already have a 4 blade on now, I'd definitely look into the rev4 21p or a 22p bravo 1. I think 24p will be too much prop for the boat, especially with a load.

23 Revolution 4 will give you great cruise speed.
Labbed Bravo props are always the ultimate option.
