I run a Turbo 2+2 23" on a 225 Opti on a 205 Triton. I'd start out by dropping 1" in pitch and see what happens to your RPM's. I think Rangers are a little heaver than my Triton, and you may need to go to a 21". I get around 5500RPM or so with a 23, which may be a little on the low side, so maybe I should go to a 21" also

Done lots of different props, and the four bladed props give you a better hole shot with a load, with a small decrease in top end speed. They also hold much better on corners and in high waves. I don't think I've had a single cavitation problem since going to the four blade props. In big waves they do a good job.
