luv2, You will need to provide WOT RPM information and a description for your current setup, and your thoughts on hole shot performance, before we can recommend a change in prop.

What is hole shot performance?

"Hole shot" is the period of accelleration that gets a boat on plane, Clem. It is also sometimes called "Climbing out of the hole".
