Brad -

13.25 x 14 Is it the Yamaha Performance Series (polished stainless steel)
What is WOT speed and RPM's running solo and light?

We need to discuss engine mounting height. Where is the motor? See this article. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...cle_id=106

While the F115 is a great motor, the torque curve is different than a 2 stroke and you are looking for a prop that will spin up quickly and still have bite. (I ran this motor 7 years on my first Outrage 17)

For tubing, water skiing many owners find a 4 blade prop offers the characteristics for these activities.

Note - Larry has a wealth of experience and is very wise. He also heavily recommends Mercury/Quicksilver products.
