Prop advice

first few runs in the boat and only managed to try a couple of props, one was a rather beaten 19p laser 2, only saw 47 at 5500rpm. second was a brand new 19p laser 2 which dropped to 5200 rpm not sure on the speed as was on my own.

i know the engine needs a new tpi but still getting up in the revs so wondering which prop you knowledgable guys would recommend and hope that someone would be extremely kind to lend me one to try.

after investigation the hull isn't marshan but similar enough, still quite light wieght even with the extra stiffening. runs very level with small amount of positive trim, running about 3 - 4" under.

any advice would be really apprieciated as would normally go down a few pitches to bring the rpms up, thanks in advance
