Check with Scott at Speed and Custom marine. He took a set of 16x24 3-blade in trade for my new props a couple years back. Maybe he still has them.

Sounds like maybe an IAC issue to me. Maybe it's sticking when hot. Try swapping IAC's from one side to the other and see if the problem moves. If not, then you can rule it out.
