Trust me when I say a carbureted 5.0 won't turn a 21" prop to wide open for a 4400 lb boat. My 350 mag would only get 4400 rpm with a 19" pitch on my 4000# dry Formula.
Get a 3 blade for top end, or a 4 for control at mid speeds. I'd recommend 15". That boat is big for the engine you have,
The 15" will get to the right rpms,and it will get out of the hole better with it's shorter drive ratio.
That boat will always burn too much gas, they all do!
