Bravo one or rev 4 would do it.

What engine/drive combo on your 22?

My brother's 22 with a OMC King Cobra 454 runs a 22P x 14-1/2 OMC Raker (cupped 3 blade with a vent on the hub). Gets 5500 RPM.

What combo?

I'm running a 496 HO.
I get the better top speed (77-78 mph) with a 27 Mirage Plus tapping on the limiters door at around 5200 rpm.
I also run a 28 Bravo I (carries the weight better when loaded with people), it tops out at (73-74 mph) at around 4800-5000 rpm.

The 27 Mirage Plus (3 blade) seems to give more bow lift and runs real loose while the 28 Bravo I (4 blade) runs more stable.

Hope this helps.

A labbed B1 sounds like it might hit the sweet spot you are looking for.

Labbd B1 after stock base line testing would be my best option.

a prop that works REALLY well on older 22's is the Hydromotive QIV.

My brother tried the Bravo 1 and hated it. He liked the hydro a lot... swore by his old 3 blade cleaver but could never find one big enough for his power after he upgraded.
