Hi all. Run a 18ft. Center Console with Yamaha 4 stroke F150. Current prop is a Powertech 13.25x19P. Low to midrange performance is lacking. Boat very slow to plane - requires 3000+RPM. Top range is 5300 at 33 knots. Looking at a number of props, not really sure what would work best. Would like to reduce plane time first, have better low to midrange and higher top end. Local dealers are advising 4 blades to reduce plane times and add more low end muscle, which sounds great, but concerned about the top RPM which are already low. Any advice would be great! Thanks!
Currently looking at, but not limited to: (open to other props)
Stiletto Advantage II 14.25x17 (or 15 for added RPMs)
Stiletto Bay Pro III 14.25x15 (local recommendation)
Mercury Enertia 14.25x17
