Need prop for 89 Evinrude 150 XP

[brusk]

Ok my fiberglass 17' 89 Ranger 373 doesn't have the right prop on it. Currently has a 14.5 X 24 3 blade. It's a little sluggish out of the hole and sucks at keeping low speed plane. And does about 60 (according to the gauge) at 4600 RPM's. What is a decent inexpensive prop and where can I get it. I'm hoping to keep around 58-60 and definately improve low speed and out of the hole performance. I'm guessing that probably means I should consider a 4 blade prop. Any advice is apreciated.

Can you be a little more clear about"a little sluggish.
Not an expert but to keep it simple If you drop 2" in pitch
it should put you at 5,000 rpm improve hole shot and stay on plane a little easier.
Solas props are inexpensive and seem to produce.Stick with the same material you have.
A 4 blade about 3" less will further increase hole shot and inhance low to mid range performance.Top end may suffer a little.Others with more refined info should be along.
If you want something more exotic you'll have to wait for the real experts.
