Another prop question

[CapJB]

I have a 2000 sundowner 215 5.7gs Volvo and I’m looking to get a bit more top end.I’m currently running a 19 pitch looking for suggestions I was thinking of possibly a four blade. The boat is new to me and so is the whole bigger boat thing came of of a pontoon

In order to advise we need to know that the boat is loaded for normal use.

Then need to know
Drive ratio
Current WOT RPM
GPS speed (not the boat speedometer)

... I’m looking to get a bit more top end....

Speed? Get a bigger engine

4 blade will DECREASE your top speed, but it will be stronger low down and give you more stern lift.

So I have a 60 hp 4 stroke on a 17.5' tracker pro-v alum boat. My current prop is a 10.5 x 13.00 and the motor runs at around 6200 rpm.
