A lot of guys have been great with the helpful tips, well please try and shorten my search for a new prop.

"New" rig this year is a '95 Ranger 690vs with a '95 Merc 175 efi. Original owner had a 23P 3 blade Tempest and the more I run this it just doesn't seem the like ideal setup.

To much throttle out of the hole and the RPM's spin out past 6000 real fast with the boat not wanting to plane. I would prefer a quicker holeshot and really don't care about top end speed. Couple of mph's here and there is no big deal to me. Taking what seems like forever to plane this boat is turning into a pain.

I'm guessing 4 blade, but what pitch and name?
