I don't know what you learned on the other site, but my recommendation would be a set of Mercury Revolution 4's. They are specifically designed for large heavy boats with big power, with lots of needed hull lift. I ran a set on my Outrage 25 for several years, and they are excellent 4 bladed props - the best you can buy in 4 blades, period. Low speed planing was excellent. Mine would plane all day long at 2200 RPM and 22 MPH using 21" pitch. Not all gearcases can handle these big props, but the Yamaha 250 should be substantial enough to do it.
Yamaha engines are widely used with Mercury props. I see it all the time.
