| Put this on the WalleyFirst board for moreyes. He had that same boat motor. I don't know if he had a SS prop or not. I think EsFishOx had the same combination, too.
I would try to find a Yamaha dealer that has a demo prop program, and then you can try several props and select the one that gives you the best overall performance. I would probably start with a 17P or 19P 3 blade, and see if that keeps you under the 6000 redline. Not all that familiar with Yamah Props, but I had a Merc Lazer II 23P on my 1700 Angler with 135 Opti, and that prop was really good for that boat. Easy boat to get on plane, too. I know of that same set up that would have good holeshot and WOT of 48+/-.
Normal to expect an aluminum prop to blow out on turns. A SS prop will make a big difference in performance on your boat.
