Maybe a set 26 Bravo's. The actual real pitch is closer to 25.2.
With one less blade, you should pick up some rpms and maybe speed. Your slip % might just go up though.

Griff is right about the 26 bravo 1''s. They should carry the bow a little better and loosen her up a bit which may get you some rpm's and a couple miles per hour. They won't get you on plane like the 5 blades but your drives look pretty deep so I don't think you will have any trouble. Are you turning your props in or out on that boat now? Also if I remember those motors were built with blowers and then went to NA, i'm thinking low compression and you may just be running out of power as well. Your boat looks beautiful and mid 70s' ain't bad especially when your out running in some big water.
Have fun with her and I hope to see you on the water this spring.

Testing our 4-SPEEDS is a great option.
