What info is needed.... usually we use this link to start people off: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=287818

Your case is a little different...

What's the gear ratio on the outdrive?
Are you wanting to use SS or AL?
Do you have soft or hard contact?
You want all-around performance or primary to tubing and skiing?
Do you have access to test props before purchase?

Good luck
