I know of a 17x30 round ear. If you’re interested I could get you in touch with the owner.

Kelly, Not sure what your goal is but I have a set of Hering's 17 x 32 x 18, that you can borrow if that helps at all!

Here is where I’m at, I had 16.75 x 30 four blade but I lost the RH a couple years ago due to a loose but.

I replaced that set with 16 x 30 five blades and lost a lot of top end.

Frickstyle loaned me a pair of 18 x 34 four blades and I couldn’t spin them (that’s a lot of prop).

Steve (CignificantOther) had pretty much my same boat/power/drives and said 17 x 30 four blades is what I needed. He had tried them all but said the that was the sweet spot prop for my boat.

My original 16.75 x 30 four blades were the only prop I ever ran close to 100 with. Everything else and I’m stuck just above 90.

Having said that I’ve never tried anything in 17” five blades.

All my five blade selections have been 16 or 16.5.
The boat definitely likes big diameter.
It handled great with Justin’s 18 x 34s, I just didn’t have enough power to turn them.

I appreciate the offer Tony, I might take you up on it if I can’t find some four blades.

Towing out never materialized but we'll see you out there, (we're flying out unless you want to swing through TN and pick us up, lol)
