Ask this question on the scream and fly board. 1000's of small outboard guys there.

Thanks. This is a friends boat and I let him post to help him out.

Tell him to call throttle up. They are very helpful. tell him to stay away from b-blades if he wants it done right.

He hit 80+ yesterday with a 15X28 standard merc 4 blade but the Engine is set back wayyyyyyyyyyy to far. He couldn't trim out at all, he was about to blow over twice. He is going to remount the motor closer to the transom and add some tabs to it. He want's to see 100+ out of it. I don't see why he wouldn't 300+hp on a 20ft tunnel should do that easily with the right set up.

Most guys run a cleaver, you don't need lift, as the hull has lift built into it.

And pitch, depends on the RPM. Borrow a 28, 30 & a 32 and see what it does.

Some props will give much better mid throttle punch, and that is a great feeling.

I would hope he has it figured out by now considering this thread is almost 6 years old.

LOL!! oops, didn't notice the date. I was searching for prop info for my boat and found the post.

get rid of the setback, thats the enemy on that boat, go get a 28 and 30 pitch big ear and go run itwith a half of tank of fuel and two guys and see which one runs best.
