Need some prop advice for the ML GSX480 gas sport hydro, cmb 27alpha for power

thanks in advance

Shane
 
I use a 6518/3 SS propeller on my GSX480 gas sport hydro with a Tiger King EVO fully modified engine, and it flies.
 
Guys,

The 2719-19-38 will handle the race water better.

Enjoy Testing,

Shane Mark did a 2717/19* prop for me and I ran it on my ML sport hydro, granted I ran a full mod 26 but the boat preferred it over other props it was quicker to accelerate and settled the boat down. This was in race set up not all out speed. I would listen to Mark and try his suggestion.
 
thanks Jerry,

I dont race, so I just need a good prop that has a balance between good handling and good speed, and doesn't over load my Alpha Evo engine, I not eanting to break any records,

I found a really nice Stainless 3BL prop I got from Andy a few years ago, along with a couple of Prop Works West 3BL gas props, so I might try those first
