Dyno,
Try the Mirage 3 blades you'll get better top but I think hole shot and mid range will suffer.... don't know if you would be happy.
typically for a
454/496 = 24P 4blade
496HO = 24/26P 4blade
500 = 26/28P 4blade
Seriously I'd call a couple professional wheel spinners and give them your exact rpms/speeds in various weather and water conditions and see if there is a consensus amongst a few of them as to what they think would work best. If your looking for "one" all purpose best bang for the buck prop it's probably going to be a "custom" labbed 4 blade in the 24-26P range. What I mean by custom is exactly that...made for your boat specifically. This is one area that can and will make a huge difference. Good luck!
