Prop Help

I have a 18 ft tracker targa with 150 opti proxs

Here are the props and result of my tests--cant seem to find the right one yet.

21p vengeance 4500 rpm 45 MPH----Slow out of the hole
21p Laser with vents open 5000 rpm 47 MPH---ok out of the hole
21p Trophy 4 blade 5000 rpm 48 MPH----------complete dog out of the hole
20p Enertia 5200 rpm 47 MPH----------good out of the hole
19p Laser vents closed 5200 rpm 49MPH----ok out of the hole
17p Vengeance 5600rpm 46 MPH---------about the same as the Enertia out of the hole
17p Black Max 5600rpm 42 MPH--------Kind of junk!!!!

What do you guys think?
Maybe a 19 vengeance they seem to slip the least?
Maybe a 18 or 19 Enertia?

Try a Power tech OFS3 18 pitch. I am running that on my 1825 Explorer Sport right now and getting 48-49 and 5650- 5750 rpms. I run the same engine as you.
Talk to propman, he can get you setup.

If you want to stick with the mercury brand props a 18 enteria should be the one. ZWALLEYE try out a couple of those enteria on his rig and tempest and couple powertech and He really like the Powertech OFS3 and the PTC3 props, he said they have good holeshot and topend and great grip.
