32 Pro ET will do what you want if the boat isn't crazy heavy. Four blade DeWald will also make a great top end propeller.

HST is heavy with shallow tunnels so needs bow lift,try a Mazco RE-4, my Daytona went from 85 on the limiter with a 28 Mercury chopper to 96 mph with Mazco RE 3 30 pitch,no other changes to set--up

The Bravo 26" will do what you're looking for. It will be fast out of the hole, give you bow lift and get you to 80. I would say a 27 bravo xs would be even better. I have a 20' lake and bay flats boat......which probably weighs around 2500 lbs with fuel, motor, etc. I can spin a 25" bravo XS 6400 and get 76-77 mph at 6400-6460.......Or a 27" bravo XS 6060-6100 at 80 mph.......But if you want holeshot, and excellent mid range speed, nothing beats a bravo.......you can also run them very high. The Bravo's are 2 mph faster than promax's on my boat.

This is from a 1994 issue of Hotboat. Hotboat covered a lot of outboard stuff for a while but is long gone now. John Tiger who did the testing sometimes posts here. The motor was a 2.5L and the boat was an AE21. Not exactly the same as an HST but close.
