nitro 898 prop help!

[spc.pyle.25b]

i currently have a 09 nitro 898 with a 225 optimax running a 25 pitch tempest prop. I have searched all over the internet and cant find any info on prop upgrades. i am running in the mid 60's right now and would like to get into the low 70's. i do currently have a maual jack plate. any suggestions on props?

A Turbo Lightning will work great on that hull and has way more bite and lift than a Tempest.

Keep in mind that "the faster you go the harder it is to go faster".
I do believe some of the guys here have hands on experience going fast; maybe they will chime in.
You might go over to Scream and Fly see if they have any suggestions.
Without hands on experience prop technology is is mostly black magic with a lot of words vaguely
describing prop design and performance.
a good start would be a description of your wot rpm and gps speed.
Terms like about, close to, or in the 60s don't help much.
