ok so i got a 1986 bayliner capri 21' its got a v8 volvo penta inboard/outboard. im not sure what prop im using but i know it takes really long to actually catch some speed...like for example at like 3500 rpm's im doing about 25mph which i think is fairly slow but anyways i need to know what prop i could use that would give me some good speed but at the same time some decent acceleration....

thanx i really appreciate the help and if theres anything else you need to know please let me know.
