I think that engine is a 2.0L rather than a 2.4L. Either way that motor is NOT too heavy for the boat . . . It's well under 400lbs.

If it's a 2.0L . . . my suggestion is 17P highfive. It's not the fastest prop or most efficient, but it very smooth with little vibration and holds well in turns at high speeds. It's a good match for that hull and power combo. Make sure your engine height is set, so the cavitation plate is at least 1" - 1.5" above the bottom of the hull. Also you can use yamaha props with that engine . . . their old school aluminum and stainless props are inexpensive, pretty fast and provide decent stern lift.

If it's a 2.4L then I'd use a mirage 17 or mirage plus 17

If you want Aluminum props . . . I have a barrel full of good quicksilver props in every pitch from 15P to 23P. $30 delivered to your door (or 3 for $50) I just want them out of my garage.
