I have a 23 pitch 5 bladed stainless prop that worked grat for a 20.6 Lavey with a 225 Yamaha. Let me know if you would like to give it a try. The pro is in Havasu now. I could have it back to Orange County in a couple weeks. Where are you located?

I would suggest an over the hub prop for an O/B application (unless 300X in which case the thru-hubs seem to work well).

I TOTALLY disagree, come and let me show you how quick a 23 pitch, with blow-out holes, yanks a person out of the water..Thru hub exhaust or not!This is the best prop for that rig...
