From my testing so far either a Bravo 1 or a Hydromotive QIV. The Bravo one comes on plane much better, in fact I don't even use my tabs to come on plane when I have them on. The hydro is a bit faster 1-2 mph at WTO. I have a post that compares both. It's under "Question for Brett." My boat is a Formula 292 SR1 so it's very similar to your boat.

Another option is the Revolution 4 props.

Prop at the bottom of your recommended rpm range for the best cruise speeds.

We found a pair of our Quad IV's cut down to 14 3/4" diameter does an outstanding job on the 302 Formula w/ the rocker bottom. Give us a call to review details.
