Prop difference?

What do you think about the size. 15 x 19 looks like the size most chosen.

What do you want out of the boat? I think the large diameter props are good for all aorund useage, and really good for cruisng efficiency. Props with alot of rake are good for lifting the bow and top speed, but not always good for planing out and cruising as they tend to popoise at cruise on some hulls. 4 blade props have great holeshots, good cruisng efficiency, but tend to lack on the top end because they tend to lift the stern and not air the bow out on the top end.

I like the MIRAGE style prop for offshore boats as they have so much bite, hold so steady in the water, while maintaining good cruisng efficiency. You may need to drop down to a 18 pitch with a large diameter prop as the larger diameter increases bite and reduces prop slip, which makes the prop run like a prop of a larger pitch.
