Prop selection for a 40hp F40 2000 4 stroke “taxi-ing” boat

[bigtime_mcalpine]

i need to install a prop on an F40 Yamaha (4 stroke). The boat will be used primarily as a taxi at our sailing club. It would be placed on an older (say 1980’s) Boston whaler 16’ centre console which would be on the lighter side. I would say that lower speed finessing would be the most important feature i.e. approaching member boats carefully, navigating in and around buoys with precision, ability to maneuver well at lower speeds, etc.

I was thinking lower pitch (say 10 7/8) but maybe middle of the road diameter of 10.

Any thoughts?
