I want to by sst prop instead of aluminium black max 14.25X21. Curent result with aluminium prop. 5500 rpm .gps speed 50.3 mph. At the same time standart sheedo shows 55-56mph
My boat 18.5 deepV 98"beam. 1470lbs hull weight.I want to change the prop to have a maximum top speed by gps and a good fuel economy (mpgal) at cruising speed (3000-4000rpm) . What kind of sst prop will i preffear in my case? tempest, turbo1 or lighting, ven sure , enercia or somthing else? I tend to by with 22-23 pitch. May I change the diameter? 3 or 4 blade?

The AV plate of my 175 optimax now is 2.5" above the down off hull. At speed it was fully submerged in the water (2-3" off water over the AV plate). I have a problem with purpoising with alluminium black max 14.25X21 in turns/. I have to trim down before turns . How can I serve this problem? I want to by sst prop for beter top end performance and to avoid purpoising in turns. What kind off sst prop is beter to by in my case? May be i must by 4 blade prop and raise motor higher? I dont want to lose top speed. Beter to increase a lot.
p.s Sorry for my bad English.
