set up for hydrostream v-king

[massv-king]

What would be the best prop for my set up, I have a 1984 v-king with a 84 150 black max, right now I am running a 23 pitch merc stainless prop, it is pulling a little over 6,000 RPM, I am not sure the speed, I think its in the 70's. I was looking at some 26 pitch big ear choppers, and a 24 pitch small ear chopper, what would be the best prop for this set up? Any help would be great.

It's running around 60 right now. 70+ should be attainable.

You'll probably need a jackplate to raise the motor up higher. The choppers need to run on the surface, and your stock intakes might not like that too much.

I have a hydrolic jackplat eon it right now, it doesnt work but the prop shaft is about 2 to 3 inches below the pad. I am just wondeirng what prop would be best and pitch to get the speed.

You can't get your propshaft to where it needs to be to run the chopper without a low water pickup. 2 to 3 inches below the pad is wayyyyyyyy too deep.
