All
Much has been written on proper propellers, but here is my additional  2 cents:
- Last summer, (first season for me with the boat), speed and power were awful with existing prop
--- I have a Universal MX-25, 2:1 (23 hp).  Prop was a 3-bladed 13 X 9 Sailor.
-  In the end, I decided to change out the prop for a 3-bladed 13 X 12 Machinery.    What a
difference!!.  At a very comfortable 1200 rpms, I am moving at 5 knots.  Max speed is over 6 kts @
2800 rpm
- If you want performance go to the machinery "mickey mouse ears" shape!!
