A different prop will defintely help (depending on what you have now) I have a 19ft Stingray I/O (4.3L EFI) I first switched to a 4 blade 21 pitch aluminum and had a significant improvement Next I went to a 5 Blade stainless Steel 21 pitch - Awesome prop!! The 5 blade stainless is definitely the way to go. You have to figure out which pitch is right for you, I tried a few out from 19-25. The 19 pitch perfomed best for holding slow speeds but I lost too much top end. The 25 pitch surprisingly held speed as well as my 3 blade and could get the boat close to 60mph. I found the 21 pitch a good balance of holding speed but I can still get the boat close to 50mph Also a HUGE improvent is slow speed handling such as docking etc... In my opinion it was worth every penny It's amazing what the right prop can do for you!
