I do not know from props, what is "taller"?


Steeper, more water is pulled over it at the same RPM, making a
light boat like yours go faster at the same RPM.

The blades are at a higher angle without cavitating making the
prop go further in the water on each revolution....

Ask the guys at the outboard shop what they'd recommend when you
take the boat in to show them. Speed goes up...fuel consumption
may even go down, not a bad thing at all.
