68' CENTURY CHEETAH 16'3"
302 FORD INTERCEPTOR/ 210hp
fiberglass frm "resorter" mold- approx. 2.500#
5 degree FLAT BOTTOM UTILITY (TOW)

13x13 (3bld.) full cup @ unknown degree (.80)?
Nibral: O.J.

WOT: S/B 4,500? NOW @ 4K tops- Speed: 45?
Would like to increase 300rpm,not to maximum

BOAT HAS GOOD HOLE SHOT. I want to make sure I'm using MOST all the hp it will produce w/o over taxing it's age (700hrs.)
Also less slip (slide) & vibration in cornering, more top end would be good.

WHAT DIRECTION COULD I GO W/ This prop? i.e. less pitch & add more cup.

THANKS!....for your time and expertise.
