Prop size is not the same across model of prop. Each model has a unique blade design and has a unique performance signature.
When discussing prop, always include the model with the size.
A good prop will reach WOT rpm when the boat is running light, no crew or gear.
The Enertia, Vengence and Rev 4 (4 bladed) models are good all-around performer.
The diameter of the prop is established by the outboard gearcase. The pitch is determined by WOT rpm's and target boat speed and a few other factors.
What is the year of the Verado? - need the gear ratio-
I see there is one authorized Mercury dealer in Israel. You may want to contact them and see if they allow testing/exchanging props.
Here is the Mercury dealer (from factory website).
