Prop Recommendation for Mercury 150 EFI

[Notrab77]

I'm looking for recommendations for a new prop for my 2009 189 F&S. I am looking to get better performance out of the hole for pulling skiers. I've read other posts that say the High Five is the way to go. Currently, I have a Mercury Laser II 3 blade 21p on it and it's hard to get them out of the water. I'm assuming the suggestion would be a High Five 21p that's like for like pitch, etc.?

I put a 4 blade Mercury prop on my Z19 Sport. It made my boat 100% more usable.

I personally don’t think changing to a different number of blades fixes any of your problems, especially if you stay with the same pitch. On multipurpose boats you just have to sacrifice some top end speed for more power getting out of the hole. Go to a lower pitch propeller, it’s like putting your transmission in a lower gear.
