E-J, finding the right prop can be a lengthy process. The prop I ended up with is the fifth one I tried. I always bought online, mostly from Dan's Discount Props, and I resold the ones that didn't work, right here at WC. I mostly got within $20 or so of the original price. The whole process took some time and effort, but not a ton of money. I'm sure the total I spent was less than the dealer price on one of those 4-blade stainless jobs!

If you found one that works for you, that's great! If you want to keep working to optimize, I can heartily recommend PowerTech props. They make a bunch of different styles in 1" pitch increments, quality is great, made in the USA, good pricing, and their customer service was very helpful to me in finding the right style prop.

PS: I may not be quite done with my prop search - might want to bump up an inch in pitch.
