Factory 23p yamaha 3 blade or upgrade to tempest plus
2005 Stratos 486sf with Yamaha 150 Vmax
18.6' Fish and ski. Prop Shaft snapped at the weld so I get a new prop shaft and get to re prop. Had a factory 23 pitch yamaha prop on it and did fine. Is a tempest plus that much better than factory or maybe a trophy four blade (does trophy need pitch up or down)? Also found a stilletto 23P 3 blade, opinions?
I was okay with factory as it ran in the mid 50's and I just fish and pull kids on a tube and I'm not a speed demon.
Just looking for advice since I get to start over.

If the prop was a 23 M it's just about the same as a 23 tempest but the tempest plus has a flo torq II hub in it and not a rubber hub.

I used to have a 18.5' skeeter fish and ski for a while with a 150 vmax, for all around general running I liked a 24 trophy the best.
It was faster and had just as good of a holeshot as the 23 yammi that came on it.
Not exactyl the same boat but similar. Might try one
