Prop decision help

[Soccerbum21]

ok..this is my first post and i was looking for some help.
i have a 2004 chap. sunesta 236 deckboat with a 5.0 Merc. and Alpha sterndrive.
my goals out of the boat are to pull skiers, tubers, etc but also cruising.
stock prop is on there now and i believe its an 18 degree and it just doesnt feel like it gets on place fast enough or pulls very hard and i was told that the prop degree makes a huge difference in performance.
any help is apreciated.

you have alot of boat for a 5.0.You might want to try a prop with less pitch
