Seacraft hulls need the AV plate high to get clear of the water. BEFORE you go playing around with props, just look over the transom while you are at cruise - if the AV plate is not clear then raise it. Repeat until it is clear. The 23 likes 2-3inches. I have talked with guys running them as much as 3.5 up without a bracket. The 'right' prop with the drive buried is probably not the right prop with the drive in the right place. A buried drive will cost you fuel and speed.
