Try a four blade prop. They are designed to get you on plane faster.
I'm getting a new motor, and I'm getting a four blade for sure. Besides getting up faster, they give you better and easier handling. I have a 75 tiller, and I need easier handling. A friend of mine runs a 100 HP tiller with a four blade prop, and it is so easy to maneuver his rig, it's unreal. My arm starts to hurt on long journey after 10 minutes with my stock prop. I'm going with four blades to take some of that load off.
