Get an Acme prop. <a href="http://www.acmemarine.com/html/propelers.html" target="_blank">http://www.acmemarine.com/html/propelers.html</a> <BR> <BR>Do a search on this board for prop messages and you will see tons of guys recommending the Acme hands-down. <BR> <BR>Got one for my Sanger V210 when the stock one got bent. Call Acme up and they will ask you a bunch of questions about your boat and what you want out of the prop (type of boating, wakeboarding, riding w/ ballast, how much ballast, top speed, your current RPM @ top speed, etc.) and they will tell you exactly the prop you should get and what your boat will be like with the Acme relative to the stock prop. <BR> <BR>I took their advice on a prop despite the fact that my local "pro" marine mechanic had no experience with guys switching from 4-blade OJ props down to 3-blade Acme. <BR> <BR>I couldn't be happier with the prop. I didn't actually lose any top end since the lower pitch prop I got actually lets my engine turn a bit higher at WOT. And I got better hole-shot for quicker starts when loaded up with people and ballast. <BR> <BR>Hope that helps.
