Even more Prop questions..!!

Guys,
I about to lay donw some cash for a 26" Trophy Plus..
Will my opti 225 be able to spin this thing to it's recommend rev range 5500-5750?

Currently running Roffer's "old" Hig5 23" and still hitting the rev limiter @ approx 6k..
engine is about 8-10cm below bottom, and still picking up good water pressure 15-18 psi..

Any P20-21's runing 25-26" props or will this slow the boat to a complete stop??

Or should I just forget about the Trophy a good for a Laser II 25-27"

Any help appreiciated..

JBD's running a laser II 22.5" on his P20 and touches 6600rpm so i recon you need something around a 24". i would think a 26" would be a little large but you maybe ok. never tried a trophy
