Location: Elk River, Minnesota | With that rig, I would doubt you would need a 5 blade prop. You'd get great handling with it, but a high 5 is not going to be a very fast prop by any means. I would guess that the 23 pitch you have will do well, although once it's been checked and rehubbed if needed, that will be the telltale sign.
Once you get it out after having the prop checked, see if you can obtain the following items: RPM's at WOT at best trim, GPS speed at WOT, the max RPM's the motor is recommended to have, and the Gear ratio of the motor and the motor mounting height (bolt hole #1 being lowest mounted position tight to transom and numbering up from there). With those numbers getting "dialed in" will be much easier to do.
I'll work with you on it...
