ive got a 96 searay 210 bowrider with a 2 barrel 5.7 engine. currently has a stainless michigan wheel 14.5 x 19 3 blade prop. will do 46mph at 4600 rpm on speedo. it doesnt plane well at the speed i need for wakeboarding. so i want to go with an aluminum 4 blade. i cant afford a stainless or high five right now. is there much difference between the:

michigan wheel 14.5 x 18 4 blade aluminum
solas amita 14.5 x 17 4 blade aluminum
merc alpha 4 14.5 x 18 4 blade aluminum.

thanks

Sideways, if you will buy the Solas Amita 4 blade aluminum in the 17" pitch it will do exactly what you want, you will be able to plane at a slower speed and you will notice that your deceleration will also be much better as well.
