I can't recall if the carb motor is the same gear ratio and RPMs as the opti. I'm going off the opti, but confident the same props will apply: You'll like a 21 pitch merc trophy, possibly a 23 pitch trophy if you fish alone and/or without a lot of weight in the boat. You'll probably need the exhaust diffuser ring from merc, which is a $10 part that snaps on the base of the prop to direct the exhaust through the prop rather than over the outside.
