3.0 Mercruiser ski prop

[Bayliner175xt]

Hi, just wondering if anyone with similar boat, 2003 Bayliner 175 bowriders with a 3.0 Mercruiser alpha 1 drive, can give us a little info on what prop they are using to ski/wakeboard with. We are currently using a Piranha 13" 22P 4 blade prop, it pulls skiers up ok. just wondering if there could be a better Dia & Pitch for us to try.

Also run SX Smart tabs.
Tried Permatrim foil but not as good as Tabs.

thanks for any help

I'm using a 14" x 19 pitch 3 bladed Stiletto. I have tried many and this was the best by far.

I started with the stock 14.25 x 21 on my 07 - 175 and switched to a 14.25 x 19 (aluminum) and then to same prop that Matt has. I'm pretty happy with it.
