2021 Tahoe 1950 Deck boat with 175 HP Merc Pro - Factory prop or update to new prop?

Hi,

2021 1950 Deck boat with 175 Merc Pro OB and factory wakeboard tower

The standard prop that came with boat is at the bottom of the recommended rpms at WOT.

Has anyone changed to a different prop? Looking for good balance of max mph and also being able to pull a person using the wakeboard tower.

Hi. There isn’t really any such thing as a factory prop. Or if there is…there shouldn’t be and they should be embarrassed if they are responsible for such a result as this. Are you trimming up to get the hull out the water and as efficient as possible ?
what pitch prop do you have now ? What type is it ? Hopefully I can try help you a little more there after.
