What would be the best general use prop for this motor . I have it on a 14ft. fiberglass Crestliner car topper.It has a 9pitch 2 blade on it now and doesn't move very fast . I was passed by a guy with a 5hp on a 14ft boat.

if its a 6 tooth spline prop shaft your stuck with the 2 blade. if its a 8 you could get a 3 blade. had a 72 and replaced lower to get a 3 blade. and was passing other 10 hp's. good motor accept for drive shaft issues at seals
