Default prop pitch/rpm and trim?

All SS props are not the same and are not priced the same. You can get a
Michigan Wheel for a lot less but that is exactly what you have. Basically
an aluminum prop design made out of SS. Not worth the money.

Since you stated that you are maxed out at 40 mph (speed limit) wise, I
would definetly go w/ a good 4 blade prop or even the high 5 (more expensive
but best for pulling) to maximize hole shot/acceleration for skiing.
There is a high five on ebay right now

What type prop are you running. If it s an aluminum 23 then it may not

be a
23 anymore. Take the prop to a prop shop and have them measure it.

This
will let you know for sure what you need.
My guess is a good SS performance prop in a 23 is what you really need

and
your prop is not a true 23 anymore. Check out the Mirage Plus from

Merc.

Yep, it's an aluminum. It's the prop that came with the boat. I've
been told that I should have another prop on the boat for emergencies.
I was considering taking this prop off and using it as the spare and
getting myself a SS one. Thanks for the recommendation. Are all SS
props in the same price range? I haven't started researching them
yet.

Thanks!
