The "correct" prop generally speaking should give you a decent holeshot with a respectable top end. But one must remember that is only a part of the picture. Boat type, hull configuration, proper loading ( weight in the proper places) are major factors also. You can have the fastest hull and the biggest motor, if you place your gear, batteries, etc. all in one spot, performance will suffer. The load should be distributed correctly for the type of hull used, to find the correct loading usually requires a little experimenting moving things around to see what works best. But generally heavier loads will require more horsepower to get decent all around performance.
