Does it rev too high on planing? If so and you have the small hole plugs in it then yes, install solid plugs

If youre going to be testing many props get a bag of each- solid, small, med, and large. Every boat/combo is different- nobody can tell you what plugs youll need

And some folks just have big bags of solid plugs and a drill. Way faster than swapping out plugs while trying to get it dialed in

If you need it yes. One 1/4” then go 1/4” in the next plug if you need more venting rpms, etc

Personally, I like Solids ......... and a cordless DeWalt and a few drill bits.
Start with Solids ........ run it ...... if she doesn't like it, take the drill bits and put 'small' holes in the center ..... run it, repeat as needed.
I always said I would pop the drilled ones out and put the 'actual hole size in', but I never do and I just run them as is.
I've always liked this method b/c you don't have to remove the prop. You just pull up somewhere (lake shore, boat ramp, put it not he trailer, etc), bump the holes bigger, and rock on.
