Default Prop help

I have a 1996 envision 29ft combo with twin 502 mags. It has 25p mirage props on there. Time to plane is pretty good I feel like, but if you aren't careful coming up on plane the props will blow out. Also the other day it was really rough and I was going about 25 the boat was proposing very bad with the drives down and tabs down and the props kept blowing out. That is the only time that has happened. Have had it up to 67mph gps @ 5k rpm with full tank of fuel (130 gal) and the drive ratio is 1.5. I am looking to go to a 4 blade bravo. Should I pitch down to 24 or up to 26? Don't want to loose much on the top end if I can help it but want to solve the blowing out problem. Thanks in advance

You'll need 24's to maintain the 5K rpm.
We have test props if you desire to try some before purchasing them.
