My .02...and random thoughts...

Dave - where do you live?
Before you start dropping $$ on props, somebody like a VMS or any knowledgeable guy should go visit Dave and take his rig for a ride and provide input from there. It sounds like you're throwing darts right now.

Where is your dealer in all of this? Do I recall that you bought the boat some distance away from you?

If the gear ratio on that motor makes so much torque, would you want to run a larger diameter prop and also a stainless steel prop? Start with a larger diameter then dial in the pitch from there?

VMS is right on the fin....don't do it. Spend the time to get this thing propped right. Is the boat maxxed out on HP?
Invest the $$ and have a trim gauge installed. IMO - no boat with trim/tilt should be without it.
