    I just bought a 2025 Bayliner VR5 with the 200hp 4.5L Mercruiser, BARELY pulls me up slalom

    Don't know because speed is determined by a lot of things and main one is prop slip. The heavier the load the more slip can happen. Your boat may do more then 41 if weight is lower and slip is less then with more weight. You can calculate it your self use a prop slip calculator in link below...

    I just bought a 2025 Bayliner VR5 with the 200hp 4.5L Mercruiser, BARELY pulls me up slalom

    You need more hole shot and going to a 4 blade 17 is not going to help, mostly the same as current 3 blade 19 Your WOT is fine with current load out Foil or smart tabs just puts more load on the boat. I would suggest a 3 blade 17 or 4 blade 15
