Prop info needed

[The Reverend]

I had my tunnel out today and I need more prop. It's a 10' boat with a stock XD25 Merc. I've got the motor up to where the prop shaft is about an inch below the tunnel. I have a stock 13p merc prop on it now and it is a bit hard to get on plane when trimmed up (It really cavitates till you get rolling) and is really spun out at top speed. The whole rig is around 500# with driver. The boat is essentially a Mini GT rig, but I want to run a stainless prop if I can fin one.

I would guess the thing to run about 40 now, with ease, like there is no load on the motor.

Any input would help, Thanks, Ron
